This webinar provides a brief overview of how mental health, just like physical health, is important to our day-to-day lives and must be maintained. We discuss how:

- poor mental health can make it difficult to cope with our daily lives
In this webinar we discuss:
- symptoms of anxiety and depression
- how loneliness and bereavement can impact our mental health
- suggestions for looking after the mental health of yourself and others
- what to do in a crisis
- professional support, resources and helplines
