MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING
PAGE 1 OF 5 — THE MENTAL HEALTH SPECTRUM
MIND & BODY
MENTAL HEALTH IS FOR EVERYONE!
Mental health is how we think, feel, and cope with life. It is not just about illness. Everyone sits somewhere on a spectrum, from thriving and calm to stressed, sad, or needing extra help. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that about 1 in 4 people will face a mental health challenge at some point in life. That means you, your friends, or your family may go through hard times, and that is common, not shameful. Good mental health includes sleep, friendships, exercise, and feeling safe. When problems last weeks and block school, sleep, or joy, it may be time to talk to a trusted adult or a professional.
⚡ DID YOU KNOW?
WHO describes mental health as a state of well-being where you can handle stress, work and learn, and join in community life. It is part of overall health, just like physical fitness.
CARE!
WELLBEING
🌈 Wellbeing means feeling mostly okay, connected, and able to bounce back from bad days.
🏃 Sleep, movement, and kind friends all protect your mental health every day.

STRUGGLE
😔 Hard weeks happen to many people, and needing help does not mean you are broken.
