Read articleWhat mental wellness means
Mental wellness covers how you feel, think and cope day to day: your emotional balance, stress levels, mood, sleep and energy, relationships, resilience and sense of purpose. Like physical health, it changes with life’s demands, and it responds well to early, practical support.
