What is health promotion?

Better health for all 

Health promotion is a set of actions to foster good health and wellbeing. It is not ‘promotion’ as in the sense of the word usually understood. Telling people how to look after their health is just one part of health promotion.

How to talk to your teen about vaping

This guide can help you have a meaningful, non-threatening conversation with your teen about vaping. 

You won’t find a set of scripted questions – we don’t want to put words in your mouth. Instead, we’ll share:

  1. Conversation starters based on your teen’s vaping behaviour.
  2. Insights from our research about what your teen might be thinking and feeling, and what you can say to help.

We've launched the Future Healthy Countdown 2030

Every year until 2030 we'll highlight the health and wellbeing of children and young people and propose pathways to ensure an equitable future for all.
