Health Promotion Training
The health promotion training provides employees in the Support and Services department with knowledge, tools, and practical ways to incorporate health promotion into their daily work. The training demonstrates how small actions can make a big difference and focuses on working with people who have some form of disability. Through a combination of knowledge, practical exercises, and sharing experiences, both work methods and the individual’s role as an inspiration to others are strengthened.
The health promotion training program is based on a varied structure that alternates lectures with discussions, reflection, and practical exercises. Participants have the opportunity to test, discuss, and articulate what works in their own daily lives. Interactions between different organizations are a key component, contributing to new perspectives and a valuable exchange of experiences. The starting point is that people with disabilities often have poorer health than the rest of the population, while their need for support to change unhealthy lifestyle habits is greater. Therefore, the focus is on what can be influenced here and now in daily work. This may involve encouraging physical activity, creating social connections, or finding ways to make healthy choices more accessible.
Experiences That Make a Difference
The training takes a holistic approach to health and highlights multiple perspectives, such as physical activity, diet, recovery, and social community. At the same time, it provides space for reflection on one’s own role and habits, since one’s own attitude often influences the ability to inspire others. Feedback from past training sessions shows that participants appreciate the combination of knowledge and practical elements, as well as the opportunity to exchange experiences with others. Additionally, the value of gaining concrete ideas that can be applied immediately is emphasized, along with the realization of how small changes in daily life can make a difference over time.
From Idea to Everyday Life
A recurring effect is that participants begin to integrate health-promoting activities into their work to a greater extent. This may involve simple elements of physical activity, new ways to foster participation, or building on what is already being done. The training also contributes to increased collaboration between colleagues and organizations, and to a more unified approach to health. In the long term, the goal is to strengthen health-promoting efforts across organizations as a whole—and thereby contribute to better health, increased participation, and a more meaningful daily life for the people these organizations serve.
The health promotion training is part of the conference "Focus on People and Health" External link.,which will be held June 2–3 during Society Expo 2026.
Hard-to-heal wounds are linked to an aging population and increased pressure on healthcare and social services. Treatment is resource-intensive and requires coordination among multiple stakeholders. This approach contributes to more effective treatment and better collaboration.
In the short term, the training provides practical tools and ideas that can be applied immediately in the workplace. In the long term, it contributes to a more systematic approach to health promotion, where small, everyday actions improve health and quality of life.
The training program aligns with the themes “Knowledge and Skills” and “A Place to Thrive.” It enhances employees’ ability to address health-related issues and contributes to greater well-being in their daily lives.
The target audience consists primarily of employees in support and care services, and by extension, the people these services are intended to serve. Information is disseminated through internal channels, managers, and networks.
By strengthening health promotion efforts, education contributes to improved health, greater participation, and a better quality of life—and thus to a better daily life for more people.
