What is Mental Wellness?
Mental wellness is more than just the absence of mental illness — it’s a positive state of mental health that allows you to enjoy life, manage challenges, and thrive. It involves emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

How to Assess Your Mental Wellness

- How well do I sleep and eat?
If you identify challenges, it’s okay to seek help and build resilience.
