All of us experience stressful times where life can feel overwhelming, motivation can be hard to find, our moods can be low or we can feel unable to relax. Maybe sometimes we find ourselves drinking alcohol to excess or taking drugs. We may even experience conflict with our partners, friends and/or families.

• Untreated, these problems can affect a person’s GRADES, their ability to WORK and their personal RELATIONSHIPS.
• Eating a good diet, getting regular exercise, getting good sleep and regularly hanging out with friends, has been shown to improve our wellbeing and ability to cope with life’s stressors.
• Taking action EARLY, and seeking professional help when you or a friend is finding it hard to cope, has been shown to lead to better outcomes.
