wellbeing
A healthy mind is as important as a healthy body for your overall wellbeing.
Like physical fitness, you can strengthen your psychological health in lots of small day-to-day ways. The "5 ways to Wellbeing" initiative introduces you to five simple and effective ways to improve your psychological and emotional health.​
​
connect
Social relationships are important to build and maintain for our wellbeing. We need both relationships which are strong and deep, with people such as family and friends, and broad relationships that provide a sense of familiarity, connectedness and belonging.
