First, let’s talk a bit about mental wellness!


  • What is mental wellness?

    • Mental wellness involves strengthening our emotional, psychological and social well-being, affecting how we think, feel and act

    • It comes from feeling balanced, connected to others, and ready to face challenges that come our way

    • Mental wellness doesn’t just mean being happy - it means being able to manage things that come to us in our daily lives in both good and bad times


  • How can we improve our mental wellness?

    • Connect with other people and interact with others

    • Be active

    • Try to learn new things (new skills or hobbies!)

    • Have gratitude

    • Try to give to others and do acts of kindness

    • Set small goals

    • Mindfulness - focus on the present instead of focusing on the past or future too much

    • Get a good amount of sleep

    • Eat healthy and drink water

    • Find stress management strategies that work for you

    • Self-compassion

    • Reach out if you need it!



We have lots of different forum posts, discussions, icebreakers, and group support discussions about depression and mental wellness in our depression support room! everything will be linked or added to this masterpost for easy access <3 all text in blue is clickable

I am most grateful for being put through these challenging times, so that I can look back from the other side and see what a fully grown warrior I have become, from such a little seed.

I am most grateful for this, so I can appreciate the beauty of others and the community more, and realise what precious rare gifts each and every one of us have to share.
