 Diversit-e Issue 3, October 2011 - Mental Health
This issue of Diversit-e looks at mental health. According to the Mental Health Association NSW, when an illness has an impact on our thoughts, feelings or behaviour it is considered to be a mental illness. However, mental health is more than treating mental illness. Mental health is vital for every person and is an important part of overall good health and wellbeing.
