<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">I’m pleased to let you know that the APS Public Interest team has managed to negotiate a special deal for
<span style="background:white">Community College</span> members on the APS Institute
<span style="color:black">Webinar Series on the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH)
</span>that starts next Tuesday evening, 4 April – details at <a href="https://www.psychology.org.au/APSinstitute/webinars/">
https://www.psychology.org.au/APSinstitute/webinars/</a> You will be able to register FOR NO CHARGE for the first webinar, and if you subsequently sign up for the full series (or for individual webinars 2, 3 or 4), you would then pay the full fee as previously
advertised. We understand that the term SDoH may be unfamiliar to many psychologists, so we’re keen for as many people as possible to participate in this first, introductory webinar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

about how to factor the Social Determinants of Health into ALL our work. As </span>
<span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">all community psychologists know, <span style="color:black">
</span>social and emotional <span style="color:black">health and wellbeing are impacted by a wide range of variables often termed social determinants; these variables encompass the physical, economic, political, and social environment as well as personal
factors. So when we consider someone’s mental health, taking these determinants into account is critical to effective case formulation and intervention. But how do they really impact? What more do we need to know?</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black">While most psychologists are aware that the social context of people’s lives is important,
</span><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">and Indigenous communities have been telling us as much for many years,<span style="color:black"> we don’t always know what to do about it at an individual client level, or more broadly when working with groups
or conducting research. This webinar series will explore the value of utilising a Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) approach to expand the way we think about mental
</span>health to include how to help people keep it, not just how to get it back. Our eight selected presenters include community psychologists Briony Kercheval & Heather Gridley and Indigenous psychologist Dennis McDermott,
<span style="background:white">Director of the Poche Centre for Indigenous Health and Well-Being</span>, as well as counselling psychologist and tireless advocate for women recovering from domestic violence, Carmel O’Brien<span style="background:white">.
</span>Briony will draw on her work in private practice with transgender young people to explore the application of the SDoH resource to enhance our understandings about the role of advocacy, training and education, consultation and engagement and contextualising
practice in supporting young transgender clients<span style="background:white">.
