How CBR can support health promotion

Page 2/5

The health potential of people with disabilities is frequently overlooked. CBR can promote the general health of people with disabilities by:

  • supporting the health sector to include people with disabiities, and
  • designing specific health promotion activities for people with disabilities within regular CBR activities.

In the section, you will:

  • learn how to work with the health sector to increase accessibility in health promotion campaigns; and
  • consider how your organization can promote the general health of people with disabilities and CBR personnel.

It is important to remember that, since health promotion focuses on changing a wide range of determinants of health, it involves many different sectors, and not just the health sector.
