Understanding Mental Health

Mental health is a condition of mental wellness that helps people to manage life’s stressors, recognize their potential, learn and function successfully and give back to their communities. It is a crucial element of health and well-being that supports both our individual and group capacity to decide, form connections, and influence the world we live in. A core human right is access to mental health. Additionally, it is essential for socioeconomic, communal, and personal development. The absence of mental diseases is only one aspect of mental wellness. It has variable degrees of difficulty and suffering, is experienced differently by each individual, and may have very different social and therapeutic implications.Guidance Counsellor at Bridgeport High School & JAGCE General Secretary (2023) Reneé Mair shed light on this condition.
