What is Mental Health and Wellness?

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also shapes how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.

Chances are, if you are generally happy, you have good mental health.

If you are often sad, anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed, you could probably use some help improving your mental health.

This page covers many ways to help improve mental health and provides resources for when you need a little more support.

While these page offer different resources and suggestions for things you can do on your own, mental health is best when it's a team effort. If you are needing support beyond what is offered here, please reach out to a mental health professional, or trusted adult, & check out mental health apps.
