Mental health
For immediate help in a mental health crisis call NHS 111 and select the mental health option.
Mental health is similar to physical health in that it changes over time and can be affected by the things you experience.
It involves the way you think, feel and respond and can have an effect on your behaviour, the decisions you make and how you experience life.
You might notice patterns in your mental health and recognise that some situations have a positive impact whilst other things can be challenging.
There are some steps you can take to look after your mental health, like managing your emotional wellbeing and building your resilience. Emotional wellbeing is the way in which you notice your feelings and take action to look after your mental health. Resilience is your ability to cope with stressful or difficult situations and is something you can develop yourself through practise of self-care techniques. Read more about managing stress and developing resilience.
It is helpful to think about the way you feel and notice any changes. Talking to a friend or trusted adult can help you understand some of what you are experiencing.
