Mental wellbeing — coronavirus (COVID-19)

Everyone can take action to protect and maintain emotional and physical wellbeing. We can take early steps for our mental health and can get help from others. This will reduce the chances of ongoing mental or physical health issues.

There are six different mental wellbeing areas. Each has a different focus and helps you respond to the range of mental tasks you face every day.

Visit the Dear Mind website for simple ways you can improve your mental wellbeing.

• Get healthy - be active, eat well and get enough sleep
• Keep learning - challenge your mind and seek out new things
• Show kindness - give back, show gratitude and bring joy to others’ lives
• Connect more - develop relationships, stay connected and care for each other
• Take notice - be mindful. Stay in the moment. Experience the world around you.
• Embrace nature - step outside, connect with the natural world and take care of the planet. Even time in your own yard or balcony, or a walk around the block makes a difference.
