Mental health is more than the absence of mental illness. A person can have a mental illness but still experience mental well-being. On the other hand, a person can be free of a diagnosed mental illness, but still experience mental distress.

Positive mental health is achieved when individuals realize their abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and contribute to their communities.

Health promotion staff in your Regional Health Authority are pleased to provide educational activities, presentations, displays and consultations for individuals, groups, schools, workplaces, communities, etc. They offer a wide range of topics about mental wellbeing, illness and addiction.
