Mental Wellbeing and Resilience

• Be active - Participating in regular physical activity has been shown to improve both your mental and physical health

• Connect - Building good relationships with those around you (friends, family, colleagues and community) will help to support you, improve your self-worth and enrich your life

• Give - Helping others can make you feel good about yourself. This can be anything from a small act of kindness to volunteering at a local community centre or service

• Keep Learning - Learning a new skill can build your confidence and enhance your sense of achievement. It can also be a great way to meet new people

• Take notice - Taking the time out to think about yourself and what is going on around you can give you the opportunity to de-stress and recharge your batteries
