PROGRAMME
Mental health affects our emotional and psycho-social well-being. It is all about how we think, feel and act. It also helps determine how we understand and manage our emotions, how we relate to others and how we respond to people and situations. Mental health is important at every stage of our life right from childhood and adolescence through to adulthood and old age.
