What is mental health?

Mental health is a person’s emotional, mental, and social wellbeing. Mental health influences how a person thinks, feels, and acts and can change the way a person deals with stress or relates to other people.

View our Anti-Stigma Toolkit and Planning Guide

Talking about mental health is so important. Open conversations help break down the shame or embarrassment people may feel about their mental health. It normalizes the idea that everyone struggles sometimes—and that it’s okay to ask for help. Learn how to start the conversation with our toolkit and planning guide.

What are mental health concerns?

Mental health concerns are when a person’s emotional, mental, and social wellbeing cause them distress or get in the way of them doing what they want and need to do in their life. Mental health concerns include specific disorders such as major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

You Are Not Alone

Mental health concerns are nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed of. If you or someone you care about has a mental health concern, you are not alone. In fact, nearly 30% of children and teens in Arkansas have a mental health diagnosis.
