Six core-risk areas were identified where it was felt interventions would bemost useful:1. Trauma (the prevention of mental illness after exposure to violence);2. Multiple Deprivation (poverty, unemployment, food insecurity andhousing);3. Pre-school (access to affordable, high quality pre-school facilities);4. Recreation (access to a range of sports and other recreationalfacilities);5. Substance Abuse (alcohol and drug abuse); and6. Mental-Health Services (prevention and screening, access totreatment)Table 7 on page 26 presents a summary of the reasons why these areas wereselected. It was also felt that all interventions should aim to increase socialcapital and employment, both significant determinants of mental health.ReferenceHerman H & Jane-Lopis E.(2005). Mental-Health promotion in Public Health.International Journal of Health Promotion and Education.
