The Centre for Health Promotion is a community-academic partnership. It is committed to excellence in education, evaluation and research. In a multi-disciplinary, collaborative context it activates, develops and evaluates innovative health promotion approaches in Canada and abroad.
The Centre includes three major units. The Health Communication Unit provides training and support in health communication with a goal to increase the capacity of community and public health agencies to plan for, conduct, and evaluate a wide range of health promotion programs. The International Health Promotion Unit coordinates the Centre's many international health promotion projects in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Russia. The National Projects Unit works nationally to offer strategic public policy and program evaluation services, notably but not exclusively in the field of health and health promotion.
