    TAKING CARE OF MENTAL HEALTH

    Taking care of psychological and emotional well-being is as important as taking care of


    physical health. Mental health directly influences quality of life, the ability to deal with
    challenges, and how we relate to the world around us. By paying attention to mental
    health, we can improve our resilience, self-esteem, ability to cope with stress, and
    maintain healthy relationships. Furthermore, promoting emotional self-care contributes
    to preventing mental health problems and favors overall balance in our lives.

    an integral part of our overall health.
