Foundational Perspectives for Integrated Health, Mental Health & Social Care

Undergraduate / Graduate

This course provides an in-depth exploration of integrated models that combine physical health, behavioral health and the social determinants of health to enhance overall patient outcomes and community well-being. Students will study various theories, conceptual frameworks and approaches that attempt to bridge the gap between health, mental health, and substance use disorder treatment services and incorporate the social determinants of health. Throughout, we will study and interrogate how these integrated models can address complex needs and improve access to comprehensive, whole-person care.
