Health promotion foundations (Canada) – Online course
Public health practitioners come to health promotion from a wide variety of career paths. This course is designed to provide foundational information about health promotion.
This series of interactive modules covers key concepts, milestones, models, theories, strategies, and more. The modules do not attempt to change intervention skills; they focus instead on awareness and how practice can be reframed in light of new perspectives.
Upon completing this 1-2 hour course, you will be able to: describe the features and values that shape health promotion practice; describe key milestones in the field; distinguish health promotion from related concepts such as disease prevention, population health and harm reduction; and identify strategies to take action on the health issues affecting individuals and communities.
