Promoting Mental Health

Public health is the science and art of promoting health, preventing disease, and prolonging life through the organized efforts of society.

This [20th] century has seen greater gains in health for the populations of the world than at any other time in history. These gains have been made partly as a result of improvements in income and education, with accompanying improvements in nutrition, hygiene, housing, water supply and sanitation. They are also the result of new knowledge about the causes, prevention and treatment of disease and the introduction of policies that have made intervention programs more accessible. The greatest advances in health have been made through a combination of structural change and the actions of individuals.

Health polices in the 21st century will need to be constructed from the key question…”What makes people healthy?”
