Wellbeing is having both an awareness of your emotions and the ability to manage and express those

feelings in a healthy manner – an ability to manage the normal stresses of life and work productively. It includes having both good mental and physical health, high life satisfaction, and a sense of meaning.

More generally, well-being is just feeling good about yourself and your life.

Mental Health is made up of our emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. It can be negatively impacted by such things as living in a difficult marriage, struggling with aging parents, or poor work/life balance.

Support to deal with life’s challenges is important in providing the basis for good mental health and

wellbeing. Dealing with a variety of everyday life challenges successfully can make the difference between coping and not.
