Course Description:

Dr. Wilson’s presentation “Understanding and Treating the Condition of Poverty” brings a new understanding of poverty

as a treatable, environmentally based, diagnosable and treatable condition. This paradigm shift serves to undermine the character flaw mentality that promotes shame and stigma while promoting a science based approach to care. Using this framework, Dr. Wilson then presents the first evidence based standards of care to treat the condition of poverty that bring consistency in the screening, treatment and analytics associated with the condition of poverty.
