Salutogenesis and Coping
New open access book on how to overcome stress and conflicts
This Special Issue aims to explore the concepts of stress, coping resources, and coping strategies, which are rooted in several theories, such as the stress and coping theory and the salutogenesis theory, and to understand how their core constructs are manifested in various ethnic and cultural groups around the world. It includes 13 articles on salutogenesis and coping from different disciplinary, socio-cultural, historical, political, and economic perspectives. These articles address salutogenesis on the individual, organizational, and societal levels.

The International Union for Health Promotion and Education
The 6th International Conference on Salutogenesis is co-sponsored by the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) and its Global Working Group on Salutogenesis. This Working Group aims to advance and promote the science of salutogenesis and thus to contribute to the scientific base of health promotion and of the IUHPE. For over 65 years, IUHPE makes evidence-based health promotion knowledge and practical experience broadly accessible, notably by organising world and regional conferences, and by publishing a high-quality scientific journal. We encourage all STARS members to become a part of the global health promotion community and joining IUHPE!

An introduction to Salutogenesis: how to apply salutogenic principles in your dietetic practice?
11th June, 2021, 12:00 - 13:00 CEST
The salutogenic orientation focuses on assets and resources for health leading to positive outcomes. It is complementary to the pathogenic orientation that is concerned with risk factors leading to disease outcomes. Applied to dietetic practice, salutogenesis aims to actively involve clients in a learning process towards healthier eating. Research findings show that this can be achieved through reflection, food-life storytelling and the construction of meaning and purpose to eating in everyday-life. In this 1-hour webinar, we will explain salutogenic principles and exchange ideas on how to apply these principles to dietetic practice.

The session will bring to light the aims and activities of the Global Working Group on Salutogenesis and their contribution of a salutogenic approach to the IUHPE and other scientific programs.
