Health promotion project

Health promotion project - outcomes “ May I say what a pleasure it has been to read them. They are excellent examples of creative, leading edge practice, grounded in good community psychology principles, that enables trainees to think into the prevention literature, in ways that will help them stay mindful of the relationship between education, support, prevention and intervention. Wonderful! I particularly wish to commend the group based approach to the task and how it both supports and promotes collaborative working practices.” Professor Arlene Vetere AcSS (external examiner 2009).
