The Health Promotion Team at Caulfield Community Health Service

What is Health Promotion?

Health promotion “is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behavior towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions” (World Health Organisation (WHO), 2024) - World Health Organisation (WHO). (2024).
