Our mental health is about how we think, our emotions, our outlook on life, and how we cope with challenges. It is an essential part of our wellbeing and can positively affect most areas of our lives: education, employment, family and relationships. Just as we need to eat the right things and exercise regularly to feel well physically, we also need to look after our mental wellbeing and prevent stress.

However, if you are having mental health problems you are not alone. One in six adults experiences mental ill health at any one time.
