What is mental health?
Mental health is about how you feel. Feelings can change how you think and what you do. When you feel good you can do everyday things. When you do not feel good it gets hard to cope. The Council for Intellectual Disability has an information guide that tells you about:
- What are signs I need help with my mental health?
- What can cause mental health problems
- How to ask for help.
How do I stay mentally well?

Anchor exercise to help you feel calm.

Staying positive and connected
