Mental Health Resources
The Global Wellness Institute defines mental wellness as “an internal resource that helps us think, feel, connect and function; it is an active process that helps us to build resilience, grow and flourish.”
Doing things that make you feel good, happy or meaningful will increase your mental wellness, resulting in an increase in your mental health.

Additional Resources
Movement has a powerful impact on mental health by releasing endorphins, which reduce stress and improve mood. It also promotes better sleep, increases energy, and enhances self-esteem. Beyond the physical benefits, movement fosters mindfulness, provides a sense of accomplishment, and strengthens emotional resilience, making it a valuable tool for improving mental well-being.
