Evidence-based mental health promotion resource 7Introduction 1
8 Evidence-based mental health promotion resourceUseful resourcesFor further information on health promotionpolicy in Victoria, refer to the Departmentof Human Services Integrated healthpromotion resource kit (DHS 2003) andthe website www.health.vic.gov.au/healthpromotion.To access the other evidence reviews andresources in this series, refer to www.health.vic.gov.au/healthpromotion/quality/evidence_index.htm.1 IntroductionThe drivers for health lie outside the health sector.The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) and the Victorian Department ofHuman Services (DHS) commissioned Deakin University to develop this mental healthpromotion evidence resource, to fill a gap in available resources to advance policy,research and practice responses to the promotion of mental health and wellbeing. Theresource builds on the VicHealth Framework for the Promotion of Mental Health andWellbeing (figure 1). Mental health promotion is an emerging sphere that includesresearch, policy development, community action and program activity. This resourceis intended to develop understanding of mental health promotion and to assist policymakers and practitioners to develop and implement effective interventions in mentalhealth promotion, which is emerging as a thought provoking field of endeavour. Bydrawing together the evidence literature, the resource aims to provide a practicalsummary not available elsewhere, to assist both the integration of mental healthoutcomes into existing program work and the development of programs focusedon the promotion of mental health and wellbeing.Since 2000, DHS has initiated wide ranging reforms in policy and practice to develophealth promotion. Initiatives have been undertaken to develop and implement statewidepolicy to support both quality and effectiveness in health promotion, to therefore buildon the capacity of the service system to plan and deliver effective high quality integratedhealth promotion programs. This resource is number 8 in the series of evidence-basedhealth promotion practitioner resources supported by DHS. The full series is designed tohelp practitioners expand the range of their interventions with greater confidence and witha stronger rationale (based on evidence) than might have been available in the past.
