No change will be triggered unless the process is controlled.
One of the key competencies of a health promotion practitioner is leadership. It is the ability to plan effective health promotion programs, manage resources and staff, understand the different phases of the program, budget and plan work from idea to evaluation. Change management must be carefully thought through, regardless of whether it is done in the community, enterprise or institution. And with all that, the health promotion specialist needs to keep in mind empowerment strategies. Having completed this course, the health promotion specialist understands the three most important roles: supporting, empowering, and mediating health-promoting processes.
