This presentation imparts educational implications based on research investigating the role of social connectedness in recent daily life functioning for mental health, treatment-seeking, adult consumers in one rural, community-based outpatient clinic. Providing these findings highlights course content that could promote place-responsive mental health services for this medically underserved population.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to define “recent daily life functioning” and “social connectedness.”
Participants will be able to identify the role of social connectedness in recent daily life functioning from the perspective of the study participants.
Participants will be able to identify at least two curriculum implications from the findings of this research to support place-oriented justice for rural healthcare populations.
