RWB
& Associates is a Social Planning group (established 2002)
specialising in the planning and
assessment of healthy communities, based on the Ottawa
Charter Framework developed by the World
Health Organisation.
Healthy
Communities are based on the following principles:
- Health is a
state of complete physical, mental, social and economic well-being.
- Social,
environmental and economic factors are important determinants of human
health and are inter-related.
- People
cannot achieve their fullest potential unless they are able to take
control of those things which determine their well-being.
- All
sectors of the community are inter-related and share their knowledge,
expertise and perspectives, working together to create a healthy
community.
A Healthy
Community process involves:
- creating supportive environments;
- strengthening
community participation;
- developing
personal skills;
- building
healthy public policies;
- reorienting
services.
Qualities of a
Healthy Community include:
- clean
and safe physical environment
- peace,
equity and social justice
- adequate access
to food, water, shelter, income, safety, work and recreation
- adequate
access to health care services
- opportunities
for learning and skill development
- strong,
mutually supportive relationships and networks
- workplaces
that are supportive of individual and family well-being
- wide
participation of community in decision-making
- strong
local cultural and spiritual heritage
- diverse
and vital economy
- protection
of the natural environment
- responsible
use of resources to ensure long term sustainability

invite you to contact
