Within a Jewish community, the Bet Din will deal with matters of a specific Jewish nature. There is separate Bet Din for each of the main branches of Judaism in the UK, such as the orthodox and reform traditions. As far as the personal lifestyle of a Jew is concerned the Bet Din deal with matters that include providing kosher certification, resolving civil disputes and making judgements on medical ethics.
The Bet Din acts as an arbitrator when there are civil disputes over matters such as property or business disputes. In the UK the Bet Dins arbitration in such disputes is recognised by the arbitration act and is therefore legally binding also the Bet Din may be called upon to assist Jewish patients and their relatives with any questions, which may arise related to medical ethics. These questions could be related to treatment or end of life issues such as abortion and euthanasia. The decisions related to medical ethics will depend very much on the branch of Judaism to which the bet din belongs.
The Beit Din is part of a Jewish community, enforcing its laws and strictures and protecting its members. It's like asking "How does an American Courthouse help support the American way of life?"

What is the difference in function between a Sanhedrin and a Beit Din?
The difference in function between a Sanhedrin and a Beit Din was that the Sanhedrin required the vote of all members, whereas the Beit Din only required the vote of a vice chief justice.Jewish answer:The Beit Din and the Sanhedrin are two different things.1) The Sanhedrin existed in ancient times. It was a Jewish court of 23 or 71 Torah scholars. The court of 23 judged capital crimes (Talmud, Sanhedrin 2a). Every city had one.The court of 71 scholars, which was in Jerusalem, was the highest Torah-authority. Cases of national significance, including those involving the Kohen Gadol or the king were brought before it. If there was a question of going to war, the Sanhedrin of 71 made the final decision; even the king had to seek their counsel (Sanhedrin, 2a and 16a). This high Sanhedrin was also responsible for being the central transmitter of the Jewish Oral Torah; and they legislated halakha (Torah-laws) in cases where there was no obvious precedent.2) The beit din exists today still. This is a minor court of three Torah scholars and may be found in any traditional Jewish neighborhood or community. They adjudicate minor cases; monetary matters and marital disputes.
