Your Mental Wellbeing

Healing takes time and asking for help is a courageous step

Mental well-being can be described as a combination of how we feel (our emotions and life satisfaction) and how we function (relationships with others, personal control, purpose in life and independence). It is something that affects everyone, old and young, and anyone can experience good or poor mental well-being. 

Over time, experiencing poor mental well-being can contribute to the development of mental health problems such as depression or anxiety. Actions which address the risk factors and support the development of the protective factors can make mental health problems less likely to occur. 

We have a range of services / education and training to proactively support you in work as well as services to support you if you are struggling with your mental well-being. 

5 steps to improving mental well-being 

• Connect with other people. Good relationships are important. 
• Be physically active. Being active is not only great for your physical health and fitness but also your mental health and resilience
