Abstract
The social determinants of mental health (SDMH) have strong associations with the physiological and psychological stress that are frequently the impetus for client referrals. Despite the increasing momentum of SDMH within areas of education, assessment, and advocacy, examples of their integration into key counseling practice activities are scant. This article provides an introduction to interrelated strategies for integrating the SDMH into client case conceptualizations and treatment plans. Descriptions of core assumptions and activities are provided with examples depicting key areas of opportunity.
