The impact of stress and other mental illness on our relationships, our working lives and our physical health is huge. What you eat, how much you exercise, the environment that you live in, the quality of friendships you have, will affect your physical and mental health. If any of these elements are not positive, then this will affect how you think and feel about yourself.
Take time to develop the skills you need to keep you mentally well and physically healthy, by being clear about how you eat, exercise and relax. Recognise and develop the resilience skills you need, so that external forces are not detrimental to your physical and mental wellbeing.

Important: Highland Mental Wellbeing
The Highland Mental Wellbeing website lists local and national services, information and training around the subject of mental health and wellbeing. It can be confusing to know where to start with online information, so it aims to help by highlighting some of the best websites and sources of help. It also provides information about training and resources for community/service volunteers or paid staff, in a 'helping' or supporting role.
