Mental Health Resources

Mental health refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It impacts how we think, feel, and act, and it influences how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is more than just the absence of a mental illness; it’s a state of well-being where individuals can realize their potential, cope with the stresses of life, sport, school, work productively, and contribute to their community.
