This document is an adapted version of the National Healthy Food and Drink Policy. Instead of being targeted at the District Health Boards, this policy is targeted at any organisation that wishes to get support in the promotion and delivery of healthy food and drink. As such, it is a useful resource for tertiary institutions to access. To view this document, click here.

The following resource was created by the National District Health Board Food and Drink Environments Network to guide New Zealand District Health Boards and the Ministry of Health in the promotion of healthier food and drink choices. This policy is still highly informative for use in tertiary settings. For the full resource, see the link here.  

"The main aim was to review the effectiveness of population or settings-based strategies and approaches for promoting the mental wellbeing of students and staff within universities.

The remaining two thirds of papers were focused on alcohol, tobacco or other drugs; we have included a short summary of these papers in the ‘Discussion’ section."
