Mental health is all about how your brain and your feelings are doing! Just like you keep your body healthy by eating vegetables and playing outside, you have to keep your mind healthy too. Having good mental health means you feel happy, safe, and ready to learn.
When your mental health is good, you feel calm, happy, and able to handle problems. Sometimes everyone feels sad or worried, and that is normal. But if you feel very sad or worried for a long time, it is important to talk to a grownup about it.
Talking to a grownup helps your mental health get stronger! Doing things you love, like drawing, reading, or playing outside, also feeds your brain and makes it smile. Getting enough sleep, eating healthy food, and spending time with friends are all great for your mental health!
