Promotion Trust

Care that reaches out

Welcome to Health Promotion Trust

The term Holistic Health or Holistic Healing comes from the word whole, meaning complete. There is no one universal definition for Holistic Health, but there seems to be a common thread that runs through all of the definitions of Holistic Health. That is, to look at the self from a whole (holistic) perspective and to understand the mind, body and spirit connection and the importance of balancing all aspects.

Reinforcing A 25-year Commitment to Preventive Health - A Health Promotion Trust Endeavor

The Health Promotion Trust (HPT) of the Archdiocese of Bombay is counting down to a very significant upcoming milestone in 2025 - 25 years of preventive health outreach among urban and rural marginalized communities. We are very grateful that through these years, our need-based programs have continued to align with our vision of making health care a reality for all, by conscientizing people about the value of preventive health.

Current health scenario: Per the 2019 WHO health study report, every year 17 million people die prematurely, before the age of 70, due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and respiratory diseases. Fortunately, all of these can be prevented, controlled or managed through intentional lifestyle changes.

Year-Long Series of Programs: In response to the above problems (Read More..), and to commemorate 25 years of championing the cause of preventive health in our communities, we will be collaborating with our stakeholders to organize specially designed programs for the following vulnerable target groups:

"Health for All" by HPT

"Healthcare at Your Doorstep" was the message that the Health Promotion Trust (HPT) brought to parishioners of Immaculate Conception (IC) Church, Borivli, through a 12-session preventive health training.

HPT staff shared relevant knowledge and strategies to encourage participants to take responsibility and be accountable for their health, and that of their family and community. The goal of this training is to help people reduce their reliance on medical professionals for health issues that can be resolved through effective preventive practices. Upon successful completion of the training, Fr Rocky Banz, HPT Director, awarded participants with a 'Barefoot Health Worker' certificate, signifying their eligibility to share knowledge of preventive health with others in the community. Participants expressed that the training inspired them to address behaviour and attitudes that had hindered their ability to maintain good health. They also found Measures of Healthy Living - an HPT publication - to be a very beneficial resource.

HPT targets Youth Mental Wellness

The COVID-19 pandemic shone a strong light on the innumerable mental health problems that debilitate the lives of individuals across all age groups, social strata, and sectors of society.

This year, HPT is pleased to announce the launch of the Barefoot Health Worker training program at several locations, including Immaculate Conception Church in Borivali, Our Lady of Nazareth Church in Bhayander West, Our Lady of Assumption Church in Kandivali West, and Ashakiran Community Centre in Vakola.

These training sessions are held monthly, and upon completion, participants receive a Barefoot Health Worker certificate, which empowers them to confidently practice and share their knowledge within their communities.

Promotion Trust | Holistic Health

The definition of holistic health is simple and inclusive. It is your overall state of wellness on all levels of your being: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It covers the health of your entire being and extends to your resources, environment and relationships.

The World Health Organization’s definition on Health is ‘A state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.’ Sustainable approaches towards health development must be holistic taking into account all the factors that influence health. The millennium development goals for health, the targets and the indicators are also to be looked at.
