This session will examine how social determinants of health (SDOH)—such as housing, education, food security, and economic opportunity—shape client outcomes and community well-being. Social workers are uniquely positioned at the interface of policy and practice, addressing immediate client needs while advocating for systemic changes that reduce inequities. By integrating SDOH into assessment, intervention, and policy advocacy, social workers can strengthen their role as change agents, ensuring that practice not only responds to individual challenges but also influences the broader structures that create them. Participants will gain practical strategies to embed SDOH in their daily work and to use advocacy as a tool for advancing equity at local, state, and national levels.
