2023 Together - NA369 - Intentional Neighboring: Improving Healthcare Outcomes and Social Awareness- On Demand

Today's societal problems are numerous — including the cost of healthcare, mental health challenges, the impact of financial distress, racial biases, income gaps, gun violence and a lack of compassionate care toward the end of life. Intentional communities are one way that such societal ills can be addressed. When faced with such a myriad of challenges in behavioral healthcare and counseling settings, our team of mental health providers, social workers and others often considers ways to address the long-term needs of our clients and patients. Often the issue of housing comes up because it is the most expensive aspect of one’s budget and  when there is conflict in a family, residential issues become important to address. Intentional communities help us consider healthcare outcomes for vulnerable persons. For most conditions and diseases, a person’s long-term health habits have the greatest influence on delaying and preventing physiological decline. As a joint venture (a nonprofit merging missions with for-profit entities), these communities help enhance positive healthcare outcomes by providing many of the elements that lead to improved long-term health.
