Having good mental health is just as important as having a healthy body. Mental health affects every part of life—your relationships with family and friends, your success at school, and how you manage daily responsibilities.

Good mental health is more than just not having a mental illness. Everyone has stress, challenges, and strong emotions. Having positive coping skills, strong support systems, and reliable resources can help you stay well, even when life feels difficult.​

If you have questions or need support, or you're supporting a young person's mental health, there are resources that can help. Choose a topic in the navigation to learn more.

If you or someone you know needs mental health support, help and distress lines are available anytime, day or night.

If it's an emergency, call 911.
