#Mentalhealth - what is it? #Mentalhealth is our ability to respond to the challenges that life throws at us. We can have all sorts of #mental struggles about money, work, relationships, family, health or just life in general. Good #mentalhealth is our ability to function, to bounce back from these struggles and to be able to move forward. Being able to deal with the worries of everyday life helps us build resilience, which is another way of saying good #mentalhealth.

#James Donaldson notes:Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions. Us men need to not suffer in silence or drown our sorrows in alcohol, hang out at bars and strip joints, or get involved with drug use.Having gone through a recent bout of #depression and #suicidalthoughts myself, I realize now, that I can make a huge difference in the lives of so many by sharing my story, and by sharing various resources I come across as I work in this space.  #http://bit.ly/JamesMentalHealthArticleOrder your copy of James Donaldson's latest book,#CelebratingYourGiftofLife:From The Verge of Suicide to a Life of Purpose and Joy

Resilience can help us when our problems seem overwhelming. Without it, our #mentalhealth could spiral out of control, changing the way we feel, think and behave. It could mean being worried or afraid all of the time, feeling numb or like nothing matters, or losing touch with what is real. When this happens, it can take some time to get back on track. At these times, it's important to reach out for help, whether it's through friends, family or #mentalhealthprofessionals.

Finding the right support can help us get back to feeling ourselves. Sometimes, though, professional advice is needed. But where do you find that? Head to Health can be a guide to help you find the right information, support and advice from trusted service providers. Head to Health.
