Our work lives shape us deeply, but the impact goes beyond individual well-being. "From Individual to Community" explores how declining work quality, from stagnant wages to job insecurity, contributes to mental health struggles. This isn't just a personal issue; communities with limited access to decent work opportunities face a ripple effect of mental health concerns. By examining the links between work, mental health, and geographic factors, this research seeks to bridge the gap. Understanding the social determinants of work-related mental health can empower communities and guide social justice efforts towards a future where work supports, not shatters, well-being.
