Life Course Theory and Social Determinants of Health Introductory Assignment and Session

Trainees review LCT and SDOH resources and respond to the discussion board prompt: "How does LCT apply to work you do with and on behalf of children with disabilities and families?" Responses are posted for discussion before the seminar.  Based on the responses from Trainees, a Wordle Word Cloud (attached) was developed.

During the class session, trainees work in small groups. Using the attached worksheet, they discuss and report back to the larger group on: 

• "How might these difficulties and stressors manifest related to a clinical encounter?"
• "Is it your business/responsibility to ask about stressors and difficult life circumstances?"
• "Demonstrate how you would ask."
• "What can you do in response to stressors and difficult life circumstances affecting a child and family in your care?"
