 1 in 10 young people will experience a mental health problem.

 These include depression, anxiety disorder, eating disorders, psychosis or bipolar disorder.

 It’s important to talk about mental health and get help early if things don’t feel right, just like
we would for our physical health.
 Mental health:
“A state of wellbeing in which every individual
realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the
normal stresses of life, can work productively and
fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or
his community.”
OR
The capacity to live a full, productive life as well as
the flexibility to deal with its ups and downs. In
children and young people it is especially about the
capacity to learn, enjoy friendships, to meet
challenges, to develop talents and capabilities.”
What is mental wellbeing?

is more than feeling happy.

of life, work productively, interact positively with
others and realise our own potential.
