Description

This session will explain how the law serves as a social determinant of health. The overall health needs of individuals are left unmet without just and fairly implemented legal policies and affordable and adequate legal representation. As such, the law is the most powerful means of determining individual health outcomes. Presenters will explain the concept of social determinants of health and describe specific casework in which the law served to stabilize housing, gain access to public benefits and ensure the safety of individuals. Upon the completion of this session, attendees should be able to identify legal means of serving individuals in need of assistance and how to access legal sources to achieve that end.

  • Psychologist
  • Substance Use Disorder Professionals
