What mental health is

Mental health is just as important as our physical health.

Our mental health is how we are feeling inside and emotionally.

It can affect your ability to:

  • work
  • study
  • do the things you need and want to do
  • get along with others
  • look after yourself

Talking about your feelings and mental health can help.

If you are concerned about how you are feeling, there are lots of services that can help.
