This insightful volume examines how the principles and practice of person-centred care can extend to operate at the level of community health and wellbeing.
Split into three parts, the book articulates the conditions whereby community-centred health and wellbeing can be made possible, discussing issues such as capacity building, community participation, determinants of health (social, economic and cultural), and the political landscape around governmental and non-governmental organizations. The first part sets the context, highlighting the reorientation of care from a bio-medical model to a psychosocial one. The second part outlines a number of different approaches through which community-centred health and wellbeing can be fostered, while the final part features some of these approach in action, from social prescribing and adult education to early childhood visiting and integrated care technology for older people.
Thought-provoking and cohesive, this important collection will interest students, scholars, policy makers and voluntary organizations working across Public Health, Social Care and Community Development.
