Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is mental health?

Mental health encompasses your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act — especially under stress.

How can I support a friend in crisis?

Listen without judgment. Acknowledge their feelings. Encourage them to seek professional help, and let them know they're not alone. Sometimes, just being present matters most.

What are the signs of risky behaviour?

Signs may include sudden mood changes, withdrawal from friends and family, changes in sleep or eating, and engaging in dangerous or secretive activities.

Speaking up is not weakness. It's the bravest thing you can do.
