HEALTH-PROMOTING RELATIONSHIPS
A “health-promoting relationship” (HPR) is a way of being with youth that enables their well-being by cultivating protective beliefs. This specific approach to relationships is 1) intentional towards the outcomes of health and well-being and 2) offers a means to reach those outcomes by enabling youth to increase control over, and to improve, their health.
Below you will find a variety of different resources to support learning and application of HPR concepts and strategies.
