This chapter explores contemporary approaches to health education and health promotion, and investigates the research and theoretical underpinnings of these approaches. It aims to develop in the reader an understanding of the benefits of implementing a positive, strengths-based approach that builds on the competencies and resources of students and the community, to frame learning about personal, social and community health. The chapter reconnoitres the need for and recognises the value of embracing a holistic approach to health education and learning while acknowledging and appreciating the impact of social determinants of health on the capacity to implement behaviours conducive to health and wellbeing.
