Welcome to wellbeing

Health is defined by The World Mental Health Organisation as "a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".

There is now strong evidence that leading a healthy lifestyle can help prevent disease.

“Mental wellbeing is about our ability to cope with life’s problems and make the most of life’s opportunities; it is about feeling good and functioning well, as individuals and collectively.”  

(New Horizons consultation, 2009).

Improving your health will mean addressing lifestyle factors, such as diet, exercise, smoking and misusing alcohol and drugs.

We hope that the information provided in this section will help support you in taking positive steps to improve your wellbeing.
