The path of study often takes twists and turns. Some of them you don’t expect, others can range from being really great to incredibly challenging.
Learning about and investing in your mental wellbeing is like preparing for the path ahead. It can help you get through the tough times and give you energy in the tank for your studies and those around you.
Knowing where you are at along the path helps to determine what you might need. When things are more challenging, we need to take even more action to protect our health and wellbeing.
Research says that good mental health and wellbeing helps to:
- increase learning, creativity and productivity,
- improve social relationships and positive behaviour, and
- improve physical health and life expectancy.
