Middle School - Mental Well-Being

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel and act. It helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. There is a clear connection between mental health and school performance. According to the world health organization, mental health is “a state of well-being 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”.
