Mental health: our cognitive, emotional, and behavioral well-being-- in other words, the relationship between how we think, feel, and behave.
This week our hosts Lauren and Rhys have a conversation with classmates Sreenija, Vanshika, and Audi about mental health. Their discussion focuses on the perception of mental illness, having open dialogue about mental health, if schools and Health Classes help, and what influences emotional well-being in teens.
