WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CONNECT A COMMUNITY TO RESOURCES?
Connecting a community to resources related to the Social Determinants of Health—like education, jobs, housing, and healthcare—is very important because these factors have a big impact on people’s overall health and well-being.
When people have access to these resources, they are more likely to stay healthy, manage stress, and avoid problems like substance misuse or mental health issues. For example, when someone has a steady job, safe housing, and access to mental health care, they are less likely to turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with stress. Access to community support and resources can also improve mental health by reducing feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation.
