How to keep mentally healthy
We all come from different places and diverse backgrounds. No matter where you are from, it’s important that we all choose to stay active, to stay closely connected to those around us, and that we embark on new experiences and challenges in the pursuit of more meaningful lives.
Being active, having a sense of belonging and having a purpose in life all contribute to good mental health.
