Mental health. This is something I have been meaning to write about. It is a topic near and dear to me and one of utmost importance to us human beans.
A few weeks ago I was at a really great presentation at UBC on mental health. Although it is a topic that I have actively engaged myself with for a significant part of my life, there is still so much I am still learning every day about it. We were presented with a diagram at this presentation that I thought was really great and wanted to share:
I really liked this because I thought it gave a great perspective on the difference between mental health and mental illness and acknowledges their existence as two separate entities. Neat.
So wait, exchange and mental health, why was this so important to me?
