Mental health is the state of your psychological and emotional well-being. It is a necessary resource for living a healthy life and a main factor in overall health. It does not mean the same thing as mental illness. However, poor mental health can lead to mental and physical illness.

Good mental health allows you to feel, think and act in ways that help you enjoy life and cope with its challenges. This can be positively or negatively influenced by:

• life experiences, such as:
  • family situation
  • the death of a loved one
  • financial and employment status
• relationships with others, such as your:
  • friends
  • family members
  • co-workers
  • schoolmates
• work or school environment
• physical health, such as problems caused by:
  • long-term illness
  • problematic substance use
• the type of community you live in
  • is it a supportive and trusting community or one where everyone keeps to themselves?
