What is Mental Health?

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine 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. Look below for general mental health tips, or click the links below to see more specific support and resources.
