Abstract

Promotional and educational activities, which may include health promotion and health education, constitute an integral part of activities undertaken by entities of the environmental model of psychiatric care. Health promotion is a process of enabling people to increase their influence on their own health and its improvement, and health education allows for the transfer of knowledge on how to take care of health. Additionally, health promotion is often combined with psychological prevention activities. The article pays particular attention to the promotion of mental health. Moreover, the role and tasks of recovery assistants in the community model of psychiatric care and their participation in community preventive and promotional activities were outlined. The effects and prospects for the development of promotional and educational activities were also indicated.
