Health

“Health is more than an absence of physical disease, it is a state of complete physical, mental and social we"being”

(World Health Organisation, 1948)

“Health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasising social and personal resources, as we" as physical capacities”

(Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion 1986)

Wednesday, 25 April 12

Wellbeing

“A positive state of mind and body, feeling safe and able to cope, with a sense of connection with people, communities and the wider environment”

Department of Health, 2009

“A positive physical, social and mental state, it is not just the absence of pain, discomfort and incapacity. It requires that basic needs are met, that individuals have a sense of purpose, that they feel able to achieve important personal goals and participate in society. It is enhanced by conditions that include supportive personal relationships, strong and inclusive communities, good health, financial and personal security, rewarding employment and a healthy and attractive environment”

Defra, 2007

The Social Determinants of Health

Wednesday, 25 April 12

Salutogenisis

• A term coined by Aaron Antonovsky (1979)

• Highlights the factors that create and support human health and well-being, rather than those that cause disease.

• A well established concept in public health and health promotion.

• Explains why some people in situations of material hardship and stress stay well and others don’t.

• Generalized Resistance Resources and Sense of Coherence

The Social Determinants of Health

Wednesday, 25 April 12

The Public Health challenge

• Chief Medical Officer (2009) – a greater focus on what creates health, alongside traditional approaches to preventing illness.

• Marmot Review (2010) – “creating conditions for individuals to take control of their own lives.”

• Public Health White Paper (2011) - improving health through greater emphasis on well-being and prevention, building people’s self esteem, confidence and resilience,’ shifting power to local communities and tackling the determinants of health.

• The asset approach provides an approach for councils and their partners to respond to these challenge.

Asset based approaches

Wednesday, 25 April 12

The principles

Assets: any resource, skill or knowledge which enhances the ability of individuals, families and neighbourhoods to sustain health and wellbeing.

Instead of starting with the problems, we start with what is working, and what people care about.

Networks, friendships, self esteem and feelings of personal and collective effectiveness are good for our wellbeing

Wednesday, 25 April 12

Values

Identify and make visible health-enhancing assets in a community

See citizens and communities as the co-producers of health and well-being as well as the recipients of services

Value what works well

Identify what has the potential to improve health and well- being

Empower communities to control their futures and create tangible resources

Wednesday, 25 April 12

Identifying assets

The actual and potential assets of

• individuals (head, heart and hands)

• associations

• organisations

Primary, secondary and potential assets

Physical, economic and cultural assets

Wednesday, 25 April 12

Rights, discrimination and social justice

As well as having (and being) assets, people still have rights - this is not about ignoring rights.

We recognise that inequalities in life chances, health and opportunities are rooted in the ways that our healthcare, education, employment and other systems operate which results in discrimination.

We seek an assets approach which enhances, not distracts from, social justice.
