Mental health treatment in the US has similar shortcomings to our larger healthcare system. Historical beliefs have led to structural barriers making it difficult for people to ultimately achieve wellness. This webinar will illuminate some of these barriers and highlight some strategies to advocate for change at different levels within the current healthcare system.
This webinar will help you to increase your knowledge of the historical context for barriers within our current mental health system. Dr. Murray will provide an overview of social determinants of health and connect the concept to treatment. HE will also provide a framework for advocacy in the context of structural challenges for health equity.
