Health Promotion

Health

Some people think they are healthy if they are not sick. But health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.[1]

 

Wellness

Wellness is a broader term that considers the cultural, physical, spiritual, social, vocational, intellectual, environmental, and emotional aspects of life. Achieving wellness is not about an individual simply making healthy choices.  It involves understanding how interpersonal, organizational, communal, and societal factors can impact the individual’s wellness.  

‌

Health Promotion

Health Promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve their health and wellness.[2] Health promotion activities can include prevention programming, awareness campaigns, or response services.
