Mental health is a positive concept related to the social and emotional wellbeing of individuals and communities.
Having good mental health, or being mentally healthy, is more than just the absence of illness, rather it’s a state of overall wellbeing.
﻿
The concept is influenced by culture, but it generally relates to:
Enjoyment of life
Having the ability to cope with and ‘bounce back’ from stress and sadness
Being able to set and fulfil goals
Having the capability to build and maintain relationships with others.
﻿
Influences on mental health and wellbeing
Mental health is influenced by several biological, psychological, social and environmental factors which interact in complex ways. These include:
Structural factors such as safe living environments, employment, education, freedom from discrimination and violence, and access to economic resources
Community factors such as a positive sense of belonging, community connectedness, activities to highlight and embrace diversity, social support, and participation in society
Individual factors such as the ability to manage thoughts and cope with stressors and having communication and social skills to support connection with others. (source)﻿https://www.cdc.gov/mentalhealth/learn/index.htm﻿
﻿
Looking at these factors, which ones have the most impact on your mental health (in a positive or negative way)?
﻿
