Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It impacts the way we think, feel and behave. It also affects our ability to manage stress, form relationships and make healthy decisions.

Mental health counselors are licensed professionals who work with individuals, families and groups in a variety of settings. Mental health counselors help individuals set goals and develop approaches to manage emotional issues, develop coping skills, improve communication, build self-esteem, promote changes in behavior, and strive for improved mental well-being.
