This article examines the evolution of approaches from a student-centric focus to a systems approach, tracing the history of health promotion on Canadian campuses. Universities have evolved from the initial attempts at providing oversight over student behaviour, to the increased need for supports after the influx of World War II veterans, to the focus on providing a much broader range of supports from a holistic stance. The current context of a more intentional and organized approach to health promotion for students, faculty, and staff is explored; the shift includes adoption of the Okanagan Charter (2015) at many campuses. Lastly, the authors suggest future directions for campuses to take in addressing the current health issues and in supporting well-being on Canadian campuses now and in the future.  \nKeywords: Okanagan Charter, holistic health promotion, well-being, systems approach, leadership  \nRésumé  \nLes universités n’ont jamais autant mis l’accent sur la promotion de la santé qu’aujourd’hui, alors que nous travaillons en vue d’un avenir post-pandémique. Cet article examine l’évolution d’une approche centrée sur l’étudiant vers une approche systémique, en retraçant l’histoire de la promotion de la santé sur les campus canadiens. Les universités ont évolué, depuisles premières tentatives de surveillance du comportement des étudiants et l’augmentation du besoin de soutien après l’afflux de vétérans de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, pour offrir un éventail plus étendu de services dans une perspective globale. Le contexte actuel d’une approche plus délibérée et concertée de la promotion de la santé auprès des étudiants, du corps professoral et du personnel est examiné; ce changement inclut l’adoption de la Charte de l’Okanagan (2015) sur de nombreux campus. Enfin, les auteurs suggèrent des orientations futures pour les campus, afin de répondre aux nouveaux enjeux liés à la santé et de promouvoir le bien-être sur les campus canadiens, aujourd’hui et à l’avenir.  \nMots-clés : Charte de l’Okanagan, promotion holistique de la santé, bien-être, approche systémique, leadership  \nIntroduction  \nThe approach to health promotion on post-secondary campuses has seen a necessary but gradual shift. Traditionally, universities adopted a very paternalistic approach, where campus personnel acted in the role of the parent, or in loco parentis, with roles such as the Dean of Women established to monitor and regulate behaviour (Hardy Cox & Strange, 2010; Hevel, 2016) . The increase in provision of services arose through concerns ema-  \nnating from the sudden, large enrolment of personnel discharged from the Canadian Armed Forces at the end of the Second World War (Hardy Cox & Strange, 2010) . These services had a siloed approach, with different units tasked with student supports, and the recognized need for specialization of roles and professionalization of staff to address the complexities of the issues.  \nWithin the last three decades, though, there has been increased awareness of the importance of developing holistic and coordinated approaches for enhancing  \nCanadian Journal of Higher Education | Revue canadienne d’enseignement supérieur 51:3 (2021)   \nwell-being. The term health promotion was described in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (World Health Organization [WHO], 1986) as “the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health”(p. 2) . The responsibility for promoting positive health goes far beyond the health sector organizations and includes social, political, and economic considerations (WHO, 1986) . Moreover, health promotion is best achieved through a holistic approach that incorpora","cbCaiqtMLAFVAGbf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqtMLAFVAGbf","pdf",491794,15,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Defining Well-Being","[{\"question\":\"What major shift in health promotion approaches does the article describe for Canadian campuses?\",\"answer\":\"It describes a move from a student-centric focus to a systems approach that supports well-being across the campus setting.\"},{\"question\":\"Which framework is highlighted as being adopted by many Canadian campuses?\",\"answer\":\"The article highlights the Okanagan Charter (2015) as a key framework many campuses have adopted.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article explain earlier drivers for health support services in universities?\",\"answer\":\"It links earlier service provision to oversight approaches and to increased needs following the post–World War II influx of Canadian Armed Forces veterans.\"}]","The Okanagan Charter - Evolution of Health Promotion in Canadian Higher Education | PDF",1792084065,38]
