-
Our mental health is just as important as our physical health, and the two are closely linked
-
We all have times when we feel down, anxious or stressed. There are active steps we can take to look after ourselves if this happens
-
Talking about how we feel, taking time for ourselves, and keeping in contact with others are all part of looking after our wellbeing
-
Eating well and being active can benefit our mental and physical wellbeing
- Alcohol , cigarettes or other drugs don’t deal with the causes of difficult feelings, and can make problems worse rather than better
