Mental Health and Wellbeing

Mental health problems can affect anyone, rich or poor, young or old - one in four people will experience such problems at some stage.

Our mental health influences:

	Our emotions
	The way we think about ourselves and other people
	Our ability to deal with and/or enjoy life events and daily living
