Nature, Health and Wellbeing
Access to nature/green space associated with:
Reduced mental health problems
Enhanced mental wellbeing,
Reduced violence and aggression,
Increased levels of physical activity
‗Green exercise‘ more beneficial than indoor activity
Views of nature beneficial for patients/others
Access to green space mirrors indicators of deprivation

―Today, kids are
aware of the
global threats to
the environment,
but their physical
contact, their intimacy with
nature, is fading…[they] can
likely tell you about the Amazon
rain forest – but not about the
last time he or she explored the
woods in solitude, or lay in a
field listening to the wind and
watching the stars move.‖ Louv, 2009

―New maladies of the soul have emerged…complicated
products of the distance we have set between ourselves
and the world…The feel of a hot dry wind on the face, the
smell of distant rain carried as a scent stream in the
air…such encounters shape our being and our
imaginations in ways which are beyond analysis, but also
beyond doubt.‖ Macfarlane, 2007

Healthy Settings: Origins & Development
―The ‗settings approach‘ became the starting point for WHO‘s
lead health promotion programmes…shifting the focus from
the deficit model of disease to the health potentials inherent
in the social and institutional settings of everyday life.‖
Kickbusch, 1996

Dooris
focus on structure and agency (and place and people)
understanding of a setting not only as medium for
reaching ‗captive audiences‘ but also as context which
impacts wellbeing
commitment to integrating health and wellbeing within
the culture, structures and routine life of settings.
Healthy Settings: What?
Healthy settings approach involves:
© M

Dooris
Whilst important, ‗health‘ services are only one factor
influencing health
Health determined by range of economic, environmental,
organisational and cultural circumstances – which have
direct and indirect influences
Health promotion requires investment in the places (or
‗social systems‘) in which people live their lives

Healthy Settings: ‘Balance’ Model
Source: © Dooris 2013, adapted from Dooris, 2004
Lesson 1:
Diversity of practice carried out under
settings ‘banner’
―SETTINGS‖
Comprehensive/ Structural model
Organic model
Vehicle model
Active model
Passive model
―Those who do deploy a settings model need to ensure that
their work is more than simply a superficial re-packaging of
traditional individualistic health education in a particular setting.‖ Whitelaw et al, 2001
[see also Wenzel, 1997; Poland et al, 2000; Johnson & Baum, 2001]
Lesson 2:
Different settings are distinct and exist in
relationship to other settings
Value in articulating an overarching conceptual
framework
Settings differ within categories (e.g. size/type of school
or workplace)
Settings differ between categories (e.g. organisational vs
geographical)
Settings exist in relation to – and are nested within – one
another.
Useful sources: Poland et al, 2000; Dooris, 2005; Poland, Krupa & McCall, 2009
Lesson 3:
Risk of reinforcing power imbalances
and perpetuating inequalities in health
Beware of inadvertently reinforcing power relationships
Recognise that settings approach may well exclude
marginalised and disenfranchised groups that live their
lives outside of ‗formal‘ settings
Undertake health equity impact assessments
Further develop work with settings such as prisons
Locate work within broader health promotion framework.
Lesson 4:
Health closely related to other agendas –
beyond ‘traditional’ health promotion
―Liveability refers to the way
the…environment supports the
quality of life and wellbeing of
communities. Quality of life and
wellbeing encompasses mental
and physical health, happiness
and life satisfaction…[and] is
enhanced by environmental
sustainability, in particular with
regard to low levels of pollution
and access to quality open
space and natural landscapes.‖ Australian Government, 2011

Health is both a critical outcome of and prerequisite for
environmentally, socially and economically sustainable
‗development‘.

Why Healthy and Sustainable Settings?
Causes and manifestations of unsustainable development
and poor health are interrelated, pose interconnected
challenges & offer potential for ‗win-win‘ synergistic solutions.
The health of places, people and the planet are interdependent.
―Human health ultimately depends on the health of
ecosystems…the interface of human and ecosystems
health now deserves to be central for policy making.‖ Lang & Rayner, 2012
Why Healthy and Sustainable Settings?
Human Health and Ecosystem Health:
Equity Issues
Environmental ‗triple threat‘
environmental degradation
climate change
resource depletion
Growing socio-economic inequalities
Poor health and increasing
inequities in health

Sustainability and Consumerism
―The public health community has a vital role to play in working creatively to imagine and...bring about an approach to life that enables all of us to ‗use less stuff‘ and have better levels of health and wellbeing.‖
Hanlon et al, 2012
Tony Biddle, 2010
Responses at Different Levels
Individual Level: increasing market for ‗green consumerism‘
and ‗carbon footprint reduction‘.
Community/City Level: increasing focus on issue-based
activism and mobilisation.
Organisation Level: increasing focus on corporate
environmental (and social) responsibility in range of settings –
with rhetoric and action concerned to promote sustainability
through ‗greening‘ organisational practices, whilst increasing
productivity/performance and securing a market advantage.

―You put the seed in the ground, it
germinates...you‘re caring for
something. Something that isn‘t
judgemental, something that will not
answer back, something that will
flourish with a bit of tender loving
care…And it‘s a journey through life
and it‘s like theirs, you know…When
you start talking to the women about
how often the flower reacts to how you
care for it and grow it, you start realising
– what if I look after my family that way,
maybe I can make a difference, maybe
I can make a change.‖ Horticultural Instructor, HMP & YOI Styal
