Mental Health - Good mental health doesn’t mean being happy all the time.
It means being able to feel and manage a range of emotions. Good mental health is a state of mental wellbeing that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realise their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community. Adapted from the World Health Organization
Prevention and Mental Health - https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/explore-mental-health/a-z-topics/prevention-and-mental-health
Traumatic Event - "a traumatic event is any pattern of activation of your stress response system that leads to an alteration in how the system is functioning and that leads to over-activity and an over reactivity." Dr Bruce Perry.
