Social isolation is characterized by an absence of social interactions and support structures. It can be voluntary or involuntary, and the involuntary type is associated with worse mental and physical health outcomes. Studies show social isolation is linked to premature mortality, excessive morbidity, and negative physiological impacts. Interventions like group work may help address social isolation, while one-on-one work may better alleviate loneliness, but more research is still needed to fully understand effective solutions.
Social Construction And Doctors And Patientsminnarory

Restoring balance through cultural safety & the medicine wheelgriehl
North American culture sees health as an individual problem, but we live in dynamic, intercultural communities. Health is multifaceted with issues related to mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Our culture can be a barrier to caring for our clients.

Indigenous teachings support addressing all areas of the person to achieve balance. Cultural safety stresses the importance of reflection and acceptance of differences. We should not treat everyone the same, but we do need to recognize and acknowledge our blind spots.

AIDS And Stigma A Conceptual Framework And Research Agenda Final Report From...Brittany Brown
This document provides a conceptual framework for understanding AIDS-related stigma and proposes a research agenda on the topic. It discusses AIDS stigma at both the cultural and individual levels. At the cultural level, stigma is manifested through discriminatory laws/policies and negative portrayals. At the individual level, people with HIV experience primary stigma while their friends/family experience secondary stigma. Stigma stems from both a fear of HIV (instrumental stigma) and negative attitudes towards associated groups (symbolic stigma). Stigma interferes with HIV prevention and takes a psychological toll on those infected. More research is needed to inform policies that reduce stigma and its negative impacts.

Advancing a Sexual Health FrameworkFor Gay, Bisexual and Other MSMIn the Unit...CDC NPIN
Richard J. Wolitski presented on advancing a sexual health framework for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States. He noted that over 30,000 new HIV infections occurred among MSM in 2009, showing that current efforts are not effective.

3) Microaggressions are common in healthcare settings and are linked to poorer health. Models like culturally-informed functional assessment and explanatory model are discussed to improve culturally-

Day 2 | CME- Trauma Symposium | Beh health issues to self inflicted injuriesNorton Healthcare
Nearly 20% of students at two Ivy League universities reported engaging in self-injury according to an anonymous survey, and more than a third had never told anyone about it.

Risk factors for suicide attempts include a history of self-harm, mental illness like depression, physical illness, abuse history, and social isolation. Motivations for self-injury include reducing intense emotions, feeling real physical pain to counter emotional pain, and communicating internal distress that cannot be verbally expressed. Screening and treatment programs focused on underlying mental health issues can help, but most youth who self-injure are discharged from
