Action to improve the things that make ALL of us healthy depends on ALL of our support. We encourage you to start a conversation and share what you know.
Southern Health-Santé Sud recognizes that creating supportive social and physical environments around people by focusing on the root causes of illness and injury has the greatest potential to support health and wellness and improve ways to well-being, for example: goes a long way towards improving health and wellness.
Healthy living is about making responsible choices but it is also about what choices, good sleep, healthy eating, being physically active and not smoking can help us stay healthy and reduce the risk of illness or serious injury. Creating supportive environments that enable healthy behaviors and make them more attainable and sustainable is a big part of healthy living.
To better support healthy living we want to partner with, families, governments, community groups and organizations to encourage:
- health for all (health and racial equity)
- physical activity
- harm reduction and injury prevention
- mental well-being
- tobacco reduction
- oral health
- healthy food choices
- healthy built environments
