MODULE CONTENT
MENTAL HEALTH
Mental health is an integral and essential component of health. The WHO constitution states: "Health is a
state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." An
important implication of this definition is that mental health is more than just the absence of mental disorders or
disabilities. Mental health is fundamental to our collective and individual ability as humans to think, emote,
interact with each other, earn a living and enjoy life. On this basis, the promotion, protection and restoration of
mental health can be regarded as a vital concern of individuals, communities and societies throughout the world.
Mental health promotion involves actions that improve psychological wellbeing. This may involve creating an
environment that supports mental health.
SUPPORT STRATEGIES/COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
Here are some strategies for supporting someone with mental health concerns:
• Encourage the person to seek help and support from an adult.
• Spend time with the person, listen to his/her concerns.
• Be hopeful; help them feel like their life will get better.
• Stand by them. Invite your friend to things that you are doing; keeping busy
and staying in touch with friends will help your friend feel better, when they
are ready.
• Learn as much as you can about mental illness so that you understand what
is going on for them.
• If you are a close friend or family member of someone with a mental health
problem, make sure that you get help as well. Talk to someone about what is
happening. This will help you be a better support person.
• Put the person’s life before your friendship. If the person mentions thoughts
of suicide, don’t keep it secret, even if the person has asked you to.

EMOTIONS
Emotions are what you feel on the inside when things happen. Emotions are also known as feelings.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
There are many other kinds of intelligence in addition to intellect. For example, spatial intelligence is the
ability to think in 3D. Musical intelligence is the ability to recognize rhythm, cadence, and tone. Athletic,
artistic, and mechanical abilities are other types of intelligence. One important type of intelligence is emotional
intelligence.
