Strengthening individuals:

increasing emotional resilience through interventions designed to promote self-esteem, life and coping skills, such as communicating, negotiating, relationship and parenting skills.

Strengthening communities: this involves increasing social inclusion and participation, improving neighbourhood environments, developing health and social services which support mental health, anti-bullying strategies in schools, workplace health, community safety, childcare and self-help networks.

Reducing structural barriers to health: through initiatives to reduce discrimination and inequalities and to promote access to education, meaningful employment, housing services and support for those who are vulnerable.
