Webinar: Social Determinants Of Health And Peer Support: Playing A Role In Mental Health Treatment And Recovery During The COVID-19 Pandemic

Location: Online Via PsychU.org

Description: Living and working during a pandemic is stressful—the uncertainty, the anxiety, the isolation. All take a toll on physical and mental health. But also exerting an effect are the social determinants of health; indeed, their influence may be magnified during this time. Join Dwayne Mayes, a Peer Support Specialist, and David Larsen, RN, MHA, a Director of Quality Improvement, to listen in as they discuss how the facts of where you were born, where you currently live, how you live, and your access to health care affect your health—and what role peer supports can play to improve outcomes.
