Principles of health promotion
The principles that guide us as we work to achieve
our mission are:
- Health and safety are essential for optimal intellectual,
emotional, social, physical and spiritual development and to the academic
mission of the University.
- Health behaviors need to be addressed from both an individual
and community context.
- Best practice standards of health promotion involve theory-based,
data-driven needs assessment, program development and evaluation.
- The creation of healthy communities requires interdisciplinary
partnerships involving health professionals, educators, artists,
community leaders and community members working together to
prevent or address critical health concerns.
- Creating healthy communities involves an integration of
advocacy, education, service, community building and research.
- To be successful, community health initiatives must focus
on key risks to health and involve a critical mass of community
members whose engagement stimulates communication, trust,
personal responsibility and shared interdependence.
