The initiative, called the Clinical Support System for Serious Mental Illness (CSS-SMI), aims to improve health and life outcomes for this population.<br /><br />The document highlights the importance of understanding how mental health and social needs intersect to impact health outcomes. It introduces the Pathways to Population Health Equity framework, which helps assess how SMI intersects with social needs and determinants of health. The framework encourages a population approach to addressing the mental health and social wellbeing of patients.<br /><br />The document presents various examples and case studies that illustrate how social determinants of health drive mental health outcomes. It emphasizes the impact of factors such as racism, adverse childhood experiences, lack of access to care, and social exclusion on mental health.<br /><br />The document also discusses the importance of addressing root causes, such as racism and classism, that contribute to social inequities and poor health outcomes. It presents different strategies and initiatives that focus on addressing these underlying factors and promoting population health equity.<br /><br />Overall, the document emphasizes the need to view mental health as a population health equity issue and provides tools and strategies to take action at various levels, from individual interventions to policy change.
