Mental Health
Good mental health allows us to realise our full potential. We’re able to cope with the stresses of daily life, work productively, and make meaningful contributions to our communities.
At every age and life stage, mental health has a powerful influence on our overall health: our emotional state, physical health, relationships and more. Our mental health changes as our lives do.
Biological, psychological and environmental factors significantly impact our mental wellbeing.
Poor mental health can make it difficult to cope at home, school, work, and in life. Mental health conditions include – stress, anxiety, depression, your relationship with food, phobias, self-harm, suicidal impulses and more – but the common characteristic is they all affect a person’s personality, thought processes and social interactions.
At IMI, we believe there are seven critical pillars for positive mental health: mind, emotions, body, environment, sense of purpose, energy, and community. Drawing on our Integrated Healing Model we can work with you or your loved ones to identify and address the pillars that need greater attention to support positive mental health at every life stage.
