Aim

The main goal of this project is to develop a European teaching and training module for social and health care students to improve their basic knowledge, skills and competence in supporting peoples empowerment in different ages and client groups by using the concept of Positive Health. Positive Health is dynamic concept of health (euPREVENT Congres 2017). In this new definition Health is seen as the ability to adapt and to self manage, in the face of social, physical and emotional challenges. The way to achieve this goal in this project is to closely cooperate and intensively work together with the project partners. Seven theme topics are selected from social and health care main client groups: child care, elderly care, home care, hospital care, occupational health (adult care), handicapped care and mental/psychiatric care. All of these client groups will be gone through using Positive Health Pillars for Positive Health: Bodily Functions, Mental Well-Being, Meaningfulness, Quality of Life, Social participation and Daily Functions.
