Communities
How are different 👪communities’ emotional needs different? Our health is influenced by five main factors: genetics, behavior, environmental and physical influences, healthcare, and social factors. Issues relating to equity—race, education level, 💲income, etc.) contribute to SES (social determinants of health). Childhood enrichment and parents’ involvement boosts education, education 📚 determines career, and career influences 🏡 what resources a person has at their disposal.
