Understanding mental health promotion
Mental health promotion focuses on preventing and reducing risk factors for adverse mental health outcomes, and promoting protective factors for mental health and wellbeing.
1.1 Emphasizing these factors makes it possible to address the mental determinants of health that comprise different priority areas on all levels (individual, community/team and societal/organizational).
1.1.3 Community empowerment programs
1.1.4 Mental health promotion embedded in health services
1.1.2 Parenting and family strengthening programs
1.1.5 Mental health in all policies
1.1.1 Infant and maternal mental health
That isn't to say that there aren't any strengths that can be leveraged in the process; facilitators can support mental health promotion practitioners and collaborators in developing a common agenda that integrates mental health into health policy, services and programming.
5.1 When facilitators support mental health promotion practitioners and collaborators in coming to an understanding in this way, shifts in environments at all 3 levels (individual, community/team and societal/organizational) can result; supporting everyone involved, including end users, in feeling empowered.
5.1.2 Diverse partnerships
5.1.3 Staff/team expertise
5.1.1 Strong leadership

Mental health promotion is critical to invest in because it leaves no one untouched; everyone's mental health is impacted throughout the life course.

2.1.3 Provincial System Support Program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Ontario: Healthy Public Policy
2.1.1 BC Healthy Connections Research Project: Creating Supportive Environments at Home
Being that mental health promotion is poorly understood by folks working in related sectors, it can be difficult to define and conceptualize on the whole; making it all the more difficult to develop and implement mental health promotion approaches in practices.
4.1. This along with other barriers can prove to be an impediment because it can lead to mental health promotion practitioners and collaborators becoming less invested in the progress; thereby leading to little progress in bridging mental health inequities.
4.1.2 Stigma associated with mental health
4.1.3 Gap in mental health services
