Mental health and wellbeing

Mental Health

Mental wellbeing describes your mental state – how you are feeling and how well you can cope with day-to-day life.

Having good mental health can help you to sleep better, feel better and enjoy the things you want to do. It can also help you to have more positive relationships with people around you.

Looking after your mental health is important because it can help you to deal with stress and any difficult times you might have now or in the future. It can also reduce your risk of physical health problems.

Making small changes to your everyday life can help you to look after your mental health. It can also help to prevent signs of mental ill health from developing or getting worse, like anxiety or low mood
