Hamburgische Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Gesundheitsförderung

The main mission of the HAG is to strengthen the physical, mental, and social well-being of the Hamburg population, particularly by promoting health opportunities for socially disadvantaged individuals. This is based on the Ottawa Charter, which provides for comprehensive and cross-sectoral health promotion. The HAG pursues charitable purposes and is independent in its work[1][2].

• Health Promotion in All Areas of Life: The HAG works to create health-promoting living environments in neighborhoods, families, daycares, schools, businesses, and for the elderly.
• Improvement of Nutrition and Exercise Behavior: It advocates for the improvement of nutrition and exercise behavior to strengthen physical and mental health.
• Mental Health: The HAG offers specific programs and courses to strengthen mental health, such as the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program.
• Inclusive and Networked Approaches: By networking actors and promoting inclusive offerings, the HAG works to ensure that all people have equal health opportunities and are included[1][2][3].

• Action Days Dementia: The HAG regularly organizes action days to raise awareness of specific health topics, such as the Action Days Dementia 2024.
• Conferences and Congresses: It hosts conferences and congresses to promote knowledge, ideas, and contacts in the field of health promotion, for example, the Pact for Prevention 2024.
• Digital Lunch Talks: In collaboration with the social authority, the HAG offers digital lunch talks on health topics to inform and support professionals and citizens[3].

Thus, the HAG is a central actor in health promotion in Hamburg, contributing to the sustainable improvement of the health and well-being of the population through its diverse activities and projects.
