• Healthcare Providers: As frontline caregivers, your insights and experiences are invaluable in shaping the design and delivery of healthcare services. Your buy-in and active participation are crucial in ensuring the success of the proposed interventions and improving the quality of care for those in need.
• Health Educators: Your role in promoting mental health awareness and providing support to students is pivotal in addressing the mental health challenges faced by our youth. By collaborating closely with health educators, we can ensure that mental health services are readily accessible within educational settings, where they can have the greatest impact.
• Parents and Community Members: Your voices and perspectives are central to our collective efforts to improve the health and well-being of our community. By engaging with parents and community members, we can foster a sense of ownership and investment in the proposed changes, ensuring that they are responsive to the needs and priorities of those we serve.

With a collaborative endeavor, we can cultivate a healthier community in which youth grow with a steady state of mental and physical well-being.

Social Determinants Affecting Health in the Community

Socioeconomic Status

The socioeconomic status of individuals and families in the Jordan community plays a crucial role in determining access to resources and health opportunities. Disparities in income levels and educational attainment have impacted residents’ ability to afford healthcare, access nutritious food, and engage in preventive health behaviors. The presence of food shelves and programs like the Jordan Food Shelf suggests that some residents face challenges in accessing adequate nutrition, highlighting the influence of socioeconomic factors on health outcomes.

Education

Health education is limited within the community of Jordan due to which young generation is indulging in opioid misuse and encountering poor mental health. This is due to a lack of resources to educate community health educators and members to enhance health literacy and improve the psychological and physical health of growing individuals. This determinant of health is taking a toll on parents’ emotional and mental health as they see their children being influenced by bad habits and suicidal thoughts. 

Our proposed healthcare system adequately addresses these determinants of health changes. It provides resources and opportunities to enhance health literacy and provide social support to overcome mental health and opioid misuse issues.
