About this resource

This report by the World Health Organization aims to bring to life the mental health dimension of health promotion.

Like health promotion, mental health promotion involves actions that allow people to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles and create living conditions and environments that support health. 

The report explores mental health as a public health issue, the types of evidence that exist in this area, and the feasibility of mental health promotion strategies. It also shares examples of the interventions possible and the responsibility of various sectors.

This is an international resource and has been included for educational purposes. Please consider how this applies to your circumstances and legislated requirements.
