The seven vital conditions for health and well-being: A framework for community action in skagit county

Submitted by TsionBeshah on Tue, 01/16/2024 - 09:17

This webinar will provide an overview of the seven vital conditions for well-being and illustrate how the framework can be useful for conceptualizing holistic individual and community well-being.  The presenters will demonstrate how the framework can help address issues related to a community response to mental health and well-being, substance use disorder, and substance misuse prevention in Skagit County, WA, with the North Star Initiative. The framework is used by multiple state and federal agencies, including The Federal Plan for Equitable Long-Term Recovery and Resilience as a guiding framework to organize and take action on social determinants of health.

Objectives:

• Identify the seven vital conditions (thriving natural world, basic needs for health and safety, humane housing, meaningful work and wealth, lifelong learning, reliable transportation, and belonging and civic muscle). 

• Develop a basic understanding of each of the seven vital conditions.
• Learn about how a community is organizing their response to the mental health and opioid crisis using the vital conditions as a framework for promoting community well-being.
 
Audience:

​Prevention practitioners, allied health partners and community members working to prevent substance misuse in tribes, communities, and states in HHS Region 10 (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington).
