Mental health is a state of well-being that encompasses the emotional, psychological, and social aspects of our lives. If you have positive mental health, you’re able to realize your own potential, work productively, manage the normal stresses of life, have healthy relationships, and make a contribution to your community. Mental health isn’t just about mental illnesses. It’s also about maintaining a positive state of wellbeing. Talking about mental health helps improve our communities by helping members maintain positive mental health, and a community of people in good mental health creates a more productive and collaborative environment.
