The importance of mental health

Mental health is all about how we think, feel, and handle life’s ups and downs. Good mental health can help us cope with challenges, discover our strengths, learn and work effectively and connect with the people around us. It’s a vital part of our overall health and wellbeing, shaping how we make choices, build relationships, and contribute to the world we share.

Mental health isn’t just important; it’s a basic human right. Its crucial for personal growth, building strong communities and driving social and economic progress. If you are experiencing poor mental health, help is available.
