MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
The terms "mental health" and "mental illness" are often used interchangeably, but they are not synonymous. According to the World Health Organization, mental health is more than the absence of mental disorder or illness; mental health is a complete state of well-being in which an individual realizes his/her/their own abilities, copes with the normal stresses of life, attends school (works) productively, and contributes to his/her/their community.
Mental health challenges are often thought of as invisible injuries. If you tear your ACL participating in your sport, would you seek care and treatment? Why would you not do the same if you are stressed, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed or burned out?
