What we mean when we use the term ‘mental health’?
All of us – men, women and children – have mental health. It’s how we think, feel and act. Mental Health is equally as important as physical health.
All of us throughout our life will have ups and downs when facing everyday challenges. Sometimes these challenges can make us feel stressed, overwhelmed and even hopeless (see Support Available | Calm your mind) For many keeping ourselves well by doing things we love and things that bring us joy can help take our mind of our worries and feel more able to cope. Take a look at our What Can You Do page for some tips and suggestions.
Sean’s Story
Sean’s mental health took a blow when he suffered a serious injury playing sport. Being unable to work or do any of the things he used to had a profound impact on his mental health.
In his video, he tells us how his love of cooking and keeping physically healthy has helped him keep emotionally well as he recovered physically.
