The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete \;physical\, mental\, spiritual and social well-being\, an indicator of \;thoroughly healthy functioning. Health understood in such a way involves not \;only the lack of a disease\, but also a positive aspect\, well-being. One of \;the possible consequences of this approach is the salutogenic perspective \;which promotes the development and strengthening of people's own resources \;as a way to health.
The unprecedented challenges of the modern life make the the problem of \;somatic and mental health a crucial subject area within contemporary social \;and medical sciences. The amount of stress\, decision-making necessity and \;the frequent lack of security and stability\, in particular\, constitute the \;omnipresent mobility and impermanence\, which have an obvious and adverse effects on health.
For these reasons it is an important task to search for the strategies and \;models of an excessive stress management which would minimize the health \;costs involved. A special attention\, in particular\, should be payed to the \;proposals directed at children and youths: positive prevention\, \;strengthening adaptive capacities and the vital forces development. \;
The subject areas suggested:
