Salutogenesis

Salutogenesis is a concept that focuses on how people stay healthy and manage stress, rather than just on treating illness. It emphasizes the factors that promote well-being, such as resilience, strong social connections, and a sense of purpose. Instead of asking why someone gets sick, it asks what helps individuals stay healthy despite challenges. This approach encourages creating environments and habits that support positive health, fostering a sense of coherence—meaning understanding, managing, and finding meaning in life’s experiences—to maintain overall well-being.
