Mental Wellness

Your mental well being is about your thoughts and feelings as well as how you cope with the ups and downs of everyday life.

It's not the same as mental health but the two can influence each other.

Long periods of low mental well being can lead to the development of mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression.

Importantly, good mental well being is not the absence of negative thoughts and feelings.

We all face difficult and challenging situations that cause us to feel angry or sad.

Instead it is about managing those feelings so that you are able to:

• feel confident in yourself
• maintain positive relationships
• work productively and cope with normal stress
