Mental Health
- Understanding and respecting your feelings, values, and attitudes and that of others.
- Using coping strategies to manage your emotions in a constructive way.
- Knowing when to engage support and resources.
- Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community. It is an integral component of health and well-being that underpins our individual and collective abilities to make decisions, build relationships and shape the world we live in. Mental health is a basic human right. And it is crucial to personal, community and socio-economic development.
