Education for wellbeing

Thanks to the contributions of many authors, this new issue of Health Education in Practice has been able to gather interesting suggestions and ideas on the complex and challenging issue of education for well-being: In particular, we could achieve contributions of almost four field. Firstly, some authors were interested in addressing well-being as a task in the training of health professionals and patients (Benaglio & Zannini, Musaio, Righettini, Scardicchio, Bobbo & Marcolongo); secondly, other contributions focused on the well-being of teachers and educators as a condition for the authentic expression of their professionalism (Basanta Vázquez & Urpi, Daniele & Gambacorti Passerini, Mastrosimone); thirdly, other contributions dealt with the need to care for aesthetic beauty in the health care setting (Buccini, Zane). Finally, some authors focused on the importance of caring for the well-being of communities to prevent distress and malaise (Crotti, Di Profio, Zedda). Some narratives and stories from practice (Lazzarotto, D’Aprile& Zarrilli Affaitati) and a book review (Marseglia) conclude our issue.
