Live Your Life Well

MHA has launched a program called Live Your Life Well which they introduced at the their 100th anniversary conference. MHA’s research shows that mental health is a significant part of overall health and that mental health affects physical health. In addition the ability to handle stress well is a key indicator of mental health. The attributes of positive mental health include the ability to cope with everyday stress with becoming to anxious or worried and a positive, open and enthusiastic outlook combined with healthy social and family relationships. Thus MHA has undertaken a campaign of 10 evidence-based actions to foster good mental health by reducing stress, promoting good health and family/social relationships. These 10 Tools are:

 

  1. Connect with others
  2. Stay Positive
  3. Get Active Physically
  4. Help Others
  5. Get Enough Sleep
  6. Create Joy and Satisfaction
  7. Eat Well
  8. Take Care of Your Spirit
  9. Deal Better with Hard Times
  10. Get Professional Help if You Need it
