The Environmental Justice–Informed Mental Health Practice Framework (EJ-MHPF) is a scholarly resource exploring the intersection of environmental housing conditions and mental health paradigms.
EJ-MHPF
About the Framework
The EJ-MHPF provides a scholarly introduction to how environmental housing conditions, toxins, and structural stressors intersect with mental health practice and treatment planning. This framework is strictly an educational and academic resource, designed to facilitate non-clinical professional learning for clinical social workers and interdisciplinary providers. This website serves as a professional platform to systematically integrate interdisciplinary research, clinical resources, theoretical frameworks, and practical tools into a single, accessible resource for mental health professionals. By bringing together evidence that is often dispersed across multiple disciplines, the website supports clinicians in incorporating environmental housing conditions into holistic social work assessment, education, leadership, and advocacy.
