What is mental health?
We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health. Being mentally healthy means that:
- we feel good about ourselves
- we can make and keep positive relationships with others
- we feel able to manage our feelings rather than feeling overwhelmed by them
- we have interests or hobbies that we enjoy
- we feel hopeful and positive about the future.
Good mental health helps us to cope with life’s ups and downs. Sometimes it's best to ask for support from others if we need it.
