What social policies support vulnerable groups?
Health Education Health 100 Version 3 / Supporting Vulnerable Groups in Society
"Lack of basic services, social exclusion, discrimination, violence, conflict, and disasters are important predictors and consequences of mental ill-health. Anti-discrimination laws, social protection for people in poverty, and peaceful relations can promote equality, inclusion, and security. These policies address social and environmental conditions rather than focusing only on individual treatment."
