Hi, 

Here are some more resources that I know of:

1. Discussion Paper on Mental Health Promotion, Health Nexus (formerly Ontario Prevention Clearinghouse) 

http://www.healthnexus.ca/policy/mhp_report_nov06.pdf

2. Mental Health Promotion in Ontario: A Call to Action, November 2008
Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Canadian Mental Health Association, Centre for Health Promotion at the University of Toronto, Health Nexus and the Ontario Public Health Association

http://www.opha.on.ca/resources/docs/Mental_Health_Promotion_for_Ontario-Call_to_Action-Nov2008.pdf 

You might also want to look at work done in the area of inclusion / exclusion for social determinants of mental health. Health Nexus has work on our website that might be relevant - Count Me In, and Primer to ACtion. 
 
Also check out the websites of the above named organizations for more materials, including research reports, etc. 


Work from VicHealth in Australia:

3. Evidence-based mental health promotion resource. See chapter 2, that is precisely about social determinants of mental health.

http://www.health.vic.gov.au/healthpromotion/downloads/mental_health_resource.pdf 

4. The Melbourne Charter, coming out of a conference, From Margins to Mainstream: 5th World Conference on the Promotion of Mental Health and the Prevention of Mental and Behavioural Disorders, in Melbourne, Australia, September 2008. 

http://www.vichealth.vic.gov.au/Resource-Centre/Publications-and-Resources/Mental-health-and-wellbeing/Mental-health-promotion/Melbourne-Charter.aspx 

This turned up from a quick google search:

5. EU high-level conference: "TOGETHER FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING", Brussels, 13 June 2008 

http://ec.europa.eu/health/ph_determinants/life_style/mental/mental_conference_en.htm

Within that, see Michael Marmot's presentation on Social Determinants of Mental Health and Well Being:

Hope the references below help.

Also look at the all the early years stuff.

Early life influences, brain development and child development through pregnancy, early, adolsent years and latter life success.

85% percent of this is mental health promotion.

The key point is think about what mental health is (not just the absence of illness)

Also you need to be aware of what poor mental health in children looks like.

If you only look for the SDOH of adult depression, anxiety, drug use, schizophrenia you will miss most of the key influences.

A good starting point for early stuff is the
