As Americans work to adjust to life amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the links between social determinants of health (SDoH), access to health care, and overall physical and behavioral health outcomes become all too clear. Those served by the child welfare system who have already experienced trauma face additional trauma exposure due to SDoH issues such as food insecurity, disruption to their typical school routine, and social isolation. This webinar will explore how SDoH may lead to health disparities and health inequities. Presenters will also describe the responsibility of Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to address SDoH barriers as part of their overall strategy for improving health care outcomes, particularly during this pandemic. Register here.
