Mental health

Mental health is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities; can cope with the normal stresses of life; can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to his or her community. The importance of maintaining a good mental health is crucial to living a long and
healthy life. Mental health can enhance the joy of living.
Mental wellness is based on some of the following factors:
     • Critical thinking
     • Problem solving
     • Creativity
     • Education and learning goals
     • Ability to adapt to change
     • Ability to access resources
     • Mental status and abilities or challenges
(A successful mental health programme should help children in learning to
love learning, testing themselves, helping them learn to improve and enable
their own ability to concentrate, study skills, problem solving, knowing when
to take a break.)
