Social and economic disadvantages create barriers to good health ― factors such as unsafe housing, exposure to toxic substances, and limited access to care can negatively impact the health of individuals and communities for generations. Laws and policies can contribute to barriers, but can also be used to advance health equity. In this webinar, panelists will discuss the conditions that led to Flint water crisis, explore issues in healthy and safe housing, and examine the connection between jails and mental health.

The webinar previews three sessions from the upcoming 2016 Public Health Law Conference.
