Being healthy means identifying and dealing with the changes in your body - and your mind. Relationships, body image, families, emotions. 

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. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
