Childhood and adolescence are times when many health behaviours are formed and much work has been done to help us understand the many factors that influence the development of both “healthy” and “unhealthy” lifestyle choices. The Promoting Wellbeing Team aims to coordinate relevant health information in a way which challenges and motivates young people to take responsibility for their present and future health and wellbeing.
A Senior Health Promotion Officer for Youth is based in the Promoting Wellbeing Team and is jointly funded by the Southern Health & Social Care Trust & the Southern Education & Library (SELB) Youth Service. The aim is to co-ordinate Health Promotion Services for Youth in the Southern Trust area with a specific responsibility to the SELB Youth Service.
