Mental health is important at every stage of life, and it plays an important role in physical and social well-being. Practicing mindfulness, prioritizing a well-balanced diet, physical activity, and sleep, and advocating for greater and equitable access to care are important. Check out the NPHW information about mental health for more information.
If you or someone you know needs mental health services, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s national helpline at 1-800-662-HELP. You can also call, text or chat 988 to connect with a trained counselor through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
