Health Promotion and Addiction Prevention in Municipalities

Healthy communities are created where citizens are supported in leading a conscious and self-determined life. Health promotion and addiction prevention at the municipal level aim to reduce risk factors, strengthen protective factors, and create health-promoting structures. Par­tic­u­lar­ly important is the col­lab­o­ra­tion with local facil­i­ta­tors such as political decision-makers, psy­cho­log­i­cal and educational pro­fes­sion­als, asso­ci­a­tions and companies.

Our services

We support communities with targeted programs, trainings and networking in the following areas:

• Development and imple­men­ta­tion of municipal prevention strategies

• Continuing education for pro­fes­sion­als and volunteers in the field of addiction prevention

• Promotion of health-conscious lifestyles in kinder­gartens, schools, and recre­ation­al facilities

• Creation of addiction preventive and health-promoting structures in public spaces

Through strong networking and joint commitment, every community can make a significant con­tri­bu­tion to health promotion and addiction prevention in the overall population.

Our target groups

Our services are aimed at municipal actors, including mayors, prevention officers, aldermen, schools, asso­ci­a­tions, companies and social insti­tu­tions. They are capable of imple­ment­ing sustainable measures and creating health-promoting conditions for all citizens.

“Gesond Gemeng” Guide

To support munic­i­pal­i­ties in the development and imple­men­ta­tion of health promotion and addiction prevention measures, we provide our ​“Gesond Gemeng” guide. It offers practical rec­om­men­da­tions, concrete examples, and useful guidance for sustainable health promotion at the community level.

Interested munic­i­pal­i­ties and organ­i­sa­tions can download the guide directly to gain an overview of possible measures and strategies. We are also happy to arrange a meeting or pre­sen­ta­tion to introduce the guide, answer questions, and discuss possible imple­men­ta­tion steps together.
