From Public Health to Wellbeing : The New Driver for Policy and Action Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

There has never been more awareness of the public health agenda, as policy-makers stress the importance of 'wellbeing' to the general public.

Charting the history and evolution of the public health agenda, this insightful reader argues the place of wellbeing in local and national strategy.

It identifies some of the critical events that have influenced the development of public health systems, and looks at the challenges for policymakers and professionals in the formulation and delivery of effective strategies for the future. This text explores the challenges of defining and promoting wellbeing across the lifespan, from childhood and youth to older age, through a range of approaches,  such as town planning and partnership working.

It is a valuable resource for students of public health, health promotion, the social sciences and social policy, as well as for any practitioner supporting health promotion within the public, private or voluntary sector.
