So we would like to invite you on this journey with 'The Lighthouse'

 

Firstly what is Mental Health?

We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health. Being mentally healthy means that: 

  • we feel good about ourselves
  • we can make and keep positive relationships with others
  • we feel able to manage our feelings rather than feeling overwhelmed by them
  • we have interests or hobbies that we enjoy
  • we feel hopeful and positive about the future. 

Good mental health helps us to cope with life’s ups and downs. Sometimes it's best to ask for support from others if we need it.

 

Dr. Glen Xiong's had the best answer to our question 'Why is emotional health important?' and we could not said it any better.

Emotional and mental health is important because it’s a vital part of your life and impacts your thoughts, behaviours and emotions. Being healthy emotionally can promote productivity and effectiveness in activities like work, school or caregiving. It plays an important part in the health of your relationships, and allows you to adapt to changes in your life and cope with adversity. - By Dr. Glen Xiong
