Today was important for my mission with An Insightful Journey because it is essential to acknowledge that quality, affordable, and safe housing is a vital component in mental health and supports those with existing mental health conditions.
Many other important topics were not addressed today that encompasses the importance of Public Health in Housing concerning the Social Determinants of Health. My inbox is open if you want to have a conversation about any discussed today or others. The Social Determinants of Health are vital to me, and I would love to have dialogue around it anytime.
I hope you had the opportunity to watch all the events today. If you did not, they are all posted and can be viewed at any point. I hope you were able to expand your mind today and brainstorm the many ways you can be a change agent in your community.
