What is Health?
A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. (WHO, 1948)
Created and lived by people within the settings of their everyday life; where we learn, work, play and love.
(Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, 1986)

What we need to do:• Understand the interactions between individual
characteristics, social and economic factors, and physical environments.
• Develop strategies that address the entire range of factors that determine health.
• Focus interventions on the health of an entire population, or significant sub-populations, rather than individuals.
• Foster shared responsibility for developing healthy public policies outside the traditional health system.

Inclusion and Equity A lens to help focus on the political, social and
economic factors that influence the health of populations
Focus on the structures and conditions, rather than the specific factors that contribute to each individual’s social exclusion or inclusion.
Inclusion helps focus on health inequities
www.hcconsortium.ca
Community Capacity
…is the combination of a community's commitment, resources and skills that can be deployed to build on community strengths and address community problems and opportunities.

Healthy Communities Consortium
CTD is a dynamic, multi-sectoral, community engagement model that helps communities “work together differently” for better chronic disease outcomes and improved health for all. Health Nexus works with communities to bring together a wide cross-section of community leaders to address complex problems in a new and innovative way.
