What do we mean by mental health ?
In a few words, how do you take care of your mental health?
Mental health is how we feel and think - it affects our everyday lives. Taking care of our mental health is important, just like taking care of our physical health. Being kind to ourselves and others, taking time to relax, and talking to someone if we are feeling down are all ways to take care of our mental health.
