چکیده
Health is a cornerstone of a holistic model of positive education. Within the model, health is defined as practising sustainable habits for optimal physical and psychological health that are developed from a sound knowledge base. Evident by this definition is the notion that health consists of multiple components and that complete health is achieved when a person is physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally well. Positive health plays an integral role within the model of positive education for several reasons. First, helping members of the school community to live healthy, vital, energetic, and resilient lives is essential to flourishing which is the overall goal of the positive education framework. Second, the importance of promoting mental and psychological heath is underscored by high rates of depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems during adolescence (Sawyer et al., 2000). Third, as many major health conditions are preventable, a valuable aim is to help young people develop health behaviours that will have a beneficial impact over the life course. Fourth, health is important for effective learning and there is evidence to suggest that students who thrive physically and psychologically also perform well in their studies (World Health Organization, 2011). The purpose of this summary is to outline research that informs the health domain of the model of positive education. First, discussion will explore the importance of holistic health and the mind-body connection. Discussion will then focus on important strategies for increasing and improving health. While health is a broad and comprehensive topic this review will focus on the following components that are integral to the model of positive education: (1) mindfulness; (2) optimism; (3) resilience; and (4) general health behaviours, such as nutrition, exercise, and sleep.
