Beskrivning
Health-Harming Legal Needs equips primary health care professionals with the tools to recognize and respond to legal issues that are injurious to health, particularly among low-income patients. Co-developed by medical and legal experts, this book advances health equity through the integration of legal support into clinical care.Utilizing a practical, case-based approach, it helps clinicians identify when legal issues such as eviction, denial of social benefits, immigration status, family breakdown, discrimination at work, or criminal legal system involvement may be undermining their patients’ health. It also focuses on several patient populations with unique legal needs, including pediatric patients, people living with HIV, Indigenous peoples, and people living with intellectual or developmental disabilities. It demystifies the legal systems that patients interact with and builds clinician confidence in navigating and leveraging community legal support. Central to the book is the introduction of Health and Justice Partnerships, a flexible, collaborative model that brings legal and health professionals together to address the root causes of poor health. By fostering shared understanding and joint dialogue across sectors, the text shows how meaningful legal-health collaboration can enhance patient care, reduce provider burnout, and promote equity and access to justice.Through real-world examples and actionable guidance, the book underscores that legal support can make a decisive difference in moments that feel hopeless – for both patients and care teams. It ultimately encourages clinicians to see legal advocacy as part of a holistic approach to care and offers a road map for integrating this perspective into their practice.
