Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing describes your mental state - how you are feeling and how well you can cope with day-to-day life. Our mental wellbeing is dynamic. It can change from moment to moment, day to day, month to month or year to year.
The following resources are available to support people who are experiencing mental health challenges, however if they are in crisis and need urgent access to support please go to the URGENT MENTAL HEALTH section of MECC Link where you can find advice and local support services for mental health emergencies.
If you are worried that someone is at risk of suicide, please also see the section for Suicide Prevention.
If anyone experiences low mental wellbeing over a long period of time they are more likely to develop a mental health problem. Â If someone already has a mental health problem, they are more likely to experience periods of low mental wellbeing than someone who hasn't. But that doesn't mean the person won't have periods of good wellbeing.
The Very Brief Intervention (VBI) pages below recognise the perception that it can be difficult to start a conversation about a person’s mental wellbeing. The following VBI uses advice from 'Time to Change' which is led by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness.
Our Mental health can be affected at any time in our lives, whether this is because of a relationship breakdown, a bereavement or financial worries so let’s get taking about mental health, it’s OK to ask!
Very Brief Intervention
Ask
How are you?
How are you feeling at the moment?
What’s been happening for you recently?
Assist
You mentioned you are feeling low, why do you think that is?
What have you been doing to make yourself feel better?
What more would you like to do or do more of that would help?
Reflect back what has been said to you; “you said you have not been sleeping well, tell me a bit more about that?
It may be worth asking about the causes and what could possibly be done to address them e.g. debt management, housing support, stress management.
Act
HOW TO USE THESE LISTINGS

Talk about the Five Ways to Wellbeing.  The mental health equivalent to the dietary advice to have ‘5 a day’ fruit and vegetables for physical health.
1. Connect - With the people around you. With family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. At home, work, school or in your local community.
- As being well connected is good for your mental wellbeing… Is there anything you could be doing more of?
- Can you think of connections that you would like to make or remake?
2. Be Active - Go for a walk or run. Step outside. Cycle. Play a game. Garden. Dance. Exercising makes you feel good. Most importantly, discover a physical activity that you enjoy; one that suits your level of mobility and fitness.
- What activities do you engage in on a regular basis? How would I like to develop this?
- Are there any minor adjustments you can make in your life that can help you to be more active?
3. Take Notice -  Be curious. Catch sight of the beautiful. Remark on the unusual. Notice the changing seasons. Savour the moment, whether you are on a train, eating lunch or talking to friends.Â
- How can you practice slowing down and pausing more often?
- What difference will incorporating this into your daily life make?
4. Keep Learning - Try something new. Rediscover an old interest. Sign up for that course. Take on a different responsibility at work. Fix a bike. Learn to play an instrument or how to cook your favourite food. Set a challenge you will enjoy achieving.Â
- What would you like to learn about? What interests you? What do you value? What would you find useful?
- What do you need to do to make learning something you look forward to?
5. Give - Do something nice for a friend, or a stranger. Thank someone. Smile. Volunteer your time. Join a community group. Look out, as well as in.Â
- Do you notice what it’s like for you when you give to others?
- What else could you give others that you hadn’t thought of before?
