Health Promotion 101
The Ontario Health Promotion Resource System (OHPRS) developed this stand alone on-line Health Promotion 101 course to help health promoters in Ontario become familiar with essential health promotion concepts. Health promoters include those who work to promote health, regardless of professional designation or whether they are paid or volunteers. Those who have worked through Health Promotion 101 are welcome to pose questions about the material and discuss its application to their work.
