Plenary Session 4: Environmental Justice and Health Disparities
(Social Work CE)
Air and water quality are fundamental determinants of our well-being. There are many factors that lead to disease and health disparities when where we live, learn, and work are plagued with social inequities. Redlining has caused Black and Brown communities to have less access to adequate education. This injustice only went further when it caused increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, and early mortality due to heart disease. Evidence shows that the suppression of education has suppressed economic opportunity and human capital. What role do social workers play in addressing a national wide crisis?
