Mental health and Wellbeing

Having good mental health is deemed as having the ability to fulfil a number of key activities, including the ability to learn, to form and maintain good relations with others and having the ability to feel, express and manage a range of emotions. It is important to remember that happiness is not a constant state and having a range of emotions is, in fact, far healthier!

​

At GHS we want you to feel good about yourselves and to flourish! We recognise the challenges that your senior years can bring and the importance of creating good wellbeing habits that are vital to protecting your mental health.

There are 5 steps to mental wellbeing:

​

  1. Connect

  2. Be active

  3. Give to others

  4. Take notice

  5. Keep learning
