What I learned about Health Promotion

Being able to sit in on Professor Flick's presentation/lecture on Health Promotion was really amazing.  Firstly, I could tell just how excited/passionate she was about presenting the information to us, which made it more interesting and fun to learn about.  I learned a great deal in the presentation, things I believe will stick with me years down the road, especially once I start practicing as an occupational therapist.  The social determinants of health were some of the major takeaways from the presentation. Some of the things that we learned about that are considered social determinants were a little surprising, but after Professor Flick went over them, they all made sense.  And none felt more important than others.  One of the other major takeaways I had from the presentation was the difference between occupational deprivation, apartheid, and alienation, and how they are often not seen separately, but happen almost simultaneously, especially depending on the situation.
