Focus On Reducing the Stigma
​Education
Mental health is defined as “A state of well-being in which individuals realize his/her own abilities, can cope with normal stresses of life, can work productively and is able to make a contribution to his/her community. (World Health Organization 2014)

Discussion
One in 5 people will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime, and 4 in 20 will experience chronic, ongoing issues. Mental illness touches all segments of society.
Promoting Hope
The future is not bleak. With early identification of symptoms of mental illness, early intervention with effective treatment and support, along with stress reduction and a healthy lifestyle, all individuals can make progress toward recovery and lead full, productive lives.
