The World Health Organization (WHO) and its five
regional offices provide significant educational and training resources. They also support
a number of collaborative activities across the world.
National and provincial
Health Canada and its provincial partners provide a number of services as well as
supporting other services. There are also a variety of non-governmental organizations at
both the national and provincial levels. For a list with links to some leading Canadian
health information providers, please visit the Canadian Health Network's Network Contributors page.
Community
There are many coalitions, universities and voluntary groups working together to advance health promotion. Recognizing this, the Healthy Communities and Healthy Cities projects work in an integrated community-based way to advance solutions that embrace
environmental, economic and health issues. An example of this is Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition.
Organizations
Organizations in various other settings also pursue health promotion.
Individuals
Families, groups, and individuals also pursue health promotion in many ways. They may support healthy public policies being developed and maintained. They may contribute time and other resources to activities that promote health, such as recreation, literacy or
shelter programs. They can also manage their own lifestyles and help others do the same through self-help groups.
