Health Promotion in Communities: Holistic and Wellness Approaches

Rating:
Summary: This is a dynamite book!
Review: This book not only applies a holistic-wellness perspective to community health, but it also focuses on community strengths and resilience. Chapters focus on positive nutrition, healthy environments, fitness and self-care skills, not risks and disease.

Whether you're a practitioner or a student, you'll find a lot of useful information. Some things I really liked are strategies for preventing violence in the schools and larger community, smoking cessation approaches and information on how to sharpen my communication skills with individuals and groups---something I haven't had in depth since I took psych/mh nursing!
