Mental wellness

Did you know that everybody has mental health? Mental health refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Good mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

We all need different support to stay mentally healthy. As we get older, our needs for mental wellness change too. Northern Health has resources to help you no matter where you are in life.
