Social Determinants of Health:

Neighborhood and Built Environment

The World Health Organization says that health is complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Linked to physical health, mental health can affect work productivity, quality of life, social interaction, diseases, treatments, and outcomes. People who maintain positive mental health are more likely to succeed in life, and more likely to increase their chances of living longer, healthier lives. Mental health maintenance is important from childhood through adolescence and adulthood. Among all schools surveyed through the Pride Survey (2019-2020), 30.7% of youth in grades 7^th – 12^th experience stress a lot.
