Looking after your mental health

Everyone has 'mental health', just as we all have 'physical health'. And like our physical health, there are times when our mental health is better than others.

Through our research-based mental health information and advice, and ongoing programmes and policy work, we want to help people look after their mental health, prevent more serious problems from developing and help everyone live mentally healthy lives.
