Mental health: Challenge yourself!

Sobre

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 healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
It’s important to remember that a person’s mental health can change over time, depending on many factors. When the demands placed on a person exceed their resources and coping abilities, their mental health could be impacted.
Although the terms are often used interchangeably, poor mental health and mental illness are not the same. A person can experience poor mental health and not be diagnosed with a mental illness. Likewise, a person diagnosed with a mental illness can experience periods of physical, mental, and social well-being. (source)﻿

Conversations Matter Right Now
Conversation is a powerful coping tool. Talking with friends, neighbors and loved ones about your feelings and concerns can relieve stress and promote resilience. You can use these tools to start a conversation.
﻿
Think about a person you trust. Who is that? Can you reach out to that person for a personal conversation?
