mental health as:
“a state of well-being in which the individual realises
his or her abilities, can cope with the normal stresses
of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is
able to make a contribution to his or her
community”.
It includes concepts such as resilience, a
sense of mastery and control, optimism
and hope as well as our ability to initiate
and sustain relationships and to play a
part in our social world. (Barry and Jenkins,
2007)
