MAIN BODY
Concept of health and well-being
Health and wellbeing are two concepts which proves to be an effective tool within field of
occupation safety and health. It is to be considered that if an individual is in best of its mental
health condition, they will give better output and will dedicate more efficiently on assigned tasks
to them. The concept of health and well-being is being defined as in state of complete mental,
physical and social wellbeing. It is an exclusion of any merely absence of infirmity or disease.
With addition to that, concept of well-being refers to conceptualizing public health with mental
health. It is being said that, if an individual develops good health and well-being, it contributes
towards better productivity in various task performed by that individual (Naidoo & Wills, 2016).
This concept is being widely accepted that subjective wellbeing varies greatly between
individuals. In context to the subject matter, NHS England has been working towards parity of
esteem between physical and mental health. An individual with mental health problems and
social anxiety faces great deal of problems in performing respective assigned task to them. By
looking such raising problems NHS England, decided to introduce a campaign wherein basics
about improving mental health and social wellbeing is being analysed. The aim of the campaign

is to provide better life to various individuals by offering them classic information about how to
counter with stress, anxiety various fears and many more.
As mentioned by …, there are a range of outside factors and elements, which majorly
influence on the effectiveness of the different campaigns. In context with Every Mind Matters, it
can be said that some of the social determinants like health care system (quality of care, provider
availability, and cultural competency & linguistic thoughts as well. Also, education social
determinants where language, vocational training and higher education are the ones that has also
affected the campaign in a different way as well. Away with this, it has been observed that
socioeconomic status is also another crucial reason behind considering Every Mind Matters.
Basically, it is crucial to understand these social determinants as they may impact positively as
well on the overall campaign. This could be understood with a good example of quality of care
which is a part of health care system (social determinant), where United kingdom’s people gets
information through internet and with the help of different communication channels as well.
This helps in spreading knowledge among individuals in much effective and in efficient
manner. another example that can be taken into consideration is of education, which is a social
determinant as well. Basically, education is the important part in an individual’s lifespan where
delivering information to individuals whose lifestyle is busy in nature, it can be said that they
may effectively take into consideration of various approaches in relation with relaxing their
mind-set. This would help them in improving the existing life related standards and it may also
lead them to improve their own proficiency level while working in an organisation or performing
something else.
It can also be said all the individuals will directly get affected by this campaign because it has
been observed that most of them stays in trauma due to different sorts of pressure. Basically, this
particular trauma is something which is being dealt by most of the individuals and due to this
campaign it is may be possible that most of the individuals might start getting aware of various
issues linked with mental health and about the interventions as well (New Economics Forum
2012).
Health
Health can be termed to be state of complete physical, mental as well as social wellbeing
and which may not merely the absence of any kind of disease or that can be infirmity. The health
of each individual is defined to be own aspect as it is their duty to keep it healthy and fit. Health

is defined as being free from illness or injury. Health promotion motive is to protect the health of
the public including population, communities, individuals etc (Office of National Statistics 2019
Measuring National Well-being: Quality of life in the UK, 2018).
Nowadays health is very relevant today number of diseases are increasing every day,
peoples must make healthier choices and reduce the risk of chronic diseases e.g. for diabetes,
asthma, respiratory issues, heart diseases. As discussed above that health promotion aim is to
empowers individuals and communities to choose healthy behaviour and reduce risk of
developing long-term diseases, this process encouraging peoples to improve their health.
Health promotion support an active life-style, healthy food choices and helping peoples to
achieve their fullest health potential. The outcome is that to prevent diseases and promote health
is both valuable and effective. The health that can be considered to be healthy when a body tend
to be disease free as well as it should be healthy by their mind as well. As the campaign follow
up or lead the string that may influence the idea of which demonstrate that each mind matters, in
which it has been refereed to people who suffered with various mental and physical activities as
well. The bibliographic citation for this following details in regards with heath has been given by
WHO. As the WHO in 1946 adopted by international Health Conference, New York (Marmot,
2015).
Well Being
Wellbeing is termed to be positive outcome that is describes as meaningful for number of
people as well as many sectors of society and mostly in all generation. The reason being
maintain their life style and lives very nicely as it can be improved by healthy diets, regularly
monitoring of common disease which can arise due to usual daily food such as high or low blood
pressure, diabetes etc. that can further can contribute to promote associated risk factors (Public
Health England, 2017).

Positive and negative aspects of health
As the definition of health which was determined by the WHO in 1948, is not adequate.
As per definition no one is healthy. There can be number of positive aspects of health that can be
termed as a state of whole complete physical, metal as well as social wellbeing. As it may
include six dimensions as well which are bodily functions, mental functions, perception, spiritual
dimensions, quality of life, social and in addition societal participation and last daily functioning.
As per the studies, it is ability to adapt and self-management (Yuill, Crinson, & Duncan, 2010).
Negative impacts can be determined as health and wellbeing is a stage where a person or an
individual start believes that he or she have a good state of health conditions and well-being as
because there are no signs and symptoms such as physical illness, injury, mental health issues
etc.
Medical/biomedical model
A biomedical model is an alternative for a person, or a human biologic framework, that can
be utilized to get typical and irregular capacity from quality to aggregate and to give a premise to
preventive or helpful mediation in human sicknesses. In context with Every Mind Matters, it can
be said that this model may effectively may lead the whole campaign to focus among different
aspects in much effective and in efficient manner (Harvey, 2017).
Social model
The social model looks to change society to oblige individuals living with hindrance; it
doesn't try to change people with debilitation to oblige society. It bolsters the view that
individuals with inability reserve a privilege to be completely partaking residents on an
equivalent premise with others. Away with this, in context with Every Mind Matters, this social
model may aid in the thought process of individuals through which they can deal with mental
issues and also may become able to serve improve their existing life standards in much efficient
ways.
Psychosocial model
This model specifically takes the people with regards to the impact that mental components
and the encompassing social climate have on their mental and physical wellbeing and their
capacity to work. The campaign i.e. Every Mind Matters was also developed on the basis of
different aspects linked with psychosocial model. Basically, mental health directly impacts on

physical health and this is why it is mandatory for individuals to keep up themselves so that they
could improve the existing living standards and also enhance the mental peace as well.
Holistic model
A Holistic model of wellbeing depends on the perspective on the solidarity of physical, mental
and profound embodiments of an individual. The humanity and its current circumstance are
entire having common impacts on one another. In context to Every Mind Matters, improvement
is something which every single individual looks forward to focus and in order to improve their
existing life standards in much efficient ways (Kahoul and et. al., 2018).
Wellbeing
According to Naidoo & Wills, (2016), what makes life good, feeling good and functioning
well are seen as important components of mental well-being’. Well-being can be understood as
how people feel and how they function both on a personal and a societal level and how they
evaluate life as a whole’ (New Economics Foundation 2012). These approached would directly
be improved in much efficient way.
Health inequalities
Various variables lead to wellbeing inconsistencies, including having poor or no health
care coverage; generalizations that medical services experts hold about racial/ethnic minorities,
cross-sexual and patients dealing with a number of problems like mental health issues, or the
individuals of various ages, or financial gatherings; language hindrances among foreigners and
medical services staff; an absence of vicinity to medical care choices, especially for individuals
in provincial or downtown territories; and boundaries to access for some handicapped
individuals. As per a 2008 World Health Organization report, social determinants of wellbeing
the regular conditions and conditions that are formed by the dispersion of cash, force and assets
are the essential driver of wellbeing inconsistencies (Laverack, Glenn. Health Promotion
Practice : Power and Empowerment, SAGE Publications, 2004).
Health Gaps
Michael Marmott researched has managed to analyse the balances in wellbeing both among
nations and inside nations. 'The truth of the matter is that the conditions to which we are
uncovered impact our conduct (Pelletier, 2019). The majority of us value the thought of free
decision, yet our decisions are obliged by the conditions where we are conceived, develop, live,

work and age (Michael Marmot, 2015). In context to Every Mind Matters, it has been realised
that those individuals were did not being carried out who were dealing with a range of problems.
