Self-care interventions for health and well-being - Communications Toolkit 2023

Overview

This toolkit supports communication on the WHO Consolidated Guideline on Self-Care Interventions for Health and Well-being (2022 version). This toolkit is intended to support promotion and implementation of the guideline. The guideline provides a framework for selfcare interventions, recommendations, good practice statements and implementation considerations for policymakers, programme managers, donors and researchers. Self-care interventions offer a solution to support the achievement of all three of WHO’s triple billion goals: to improve universal health coverage, reach people in humanitarian situations, and improve health and well-being.

Who is this toolkit for?

This toolkit is to support WHO colleagues at Regional and Country Offices and UN partners with communication products that can be adapted locally. This will be done by providing some standard language, versatile graphics and tailored resources. The toolkit is also a resource for stakeholders and partners interested in implementing WHO recommendations, principles and framework on self-care interventions for SRHR.

What are the communication objectives for this toolkit?

• To raise awareness and profile the work and goals of WHO around self-care interventions.
• To provide a shared language for communication to support global, regional and national efforts around self-care interventions for SRHR.
• To provide easy access to a comprehensive list of technical and communications resources on self-care interventions.
