Lebenskompetenz als zentrale Interventionskomponente bei Kids und Teens

What is it about?

In 1994 the World Health Organization (WHO) gave a definition on central life skills for health promotion with children and teens.

Life skills programs are central to the prevention of addictive and aggressive behavior in children and teens. Particularly for diet- or physical activity-related preventive interventions, they still have a great deal of untapped potential.
