Mental health as mental well-being
means a state where an individual
realizes his or her own abilities to
cope with the normal stresses of life,
and to work productively and can
contribute to his or her community.
In precise term, mental health is the
foundation for individual well-being
and the effective functioning of a
community.

Larkin in 2009. It revolves around the slogan "R U OK?", and advocates for
people to have conversations with others.

The Australian non-profit organization has a dedicated R U OK? Day, to be held

annually on the second Thursday of September, which encourages Australians to
connect with people who have emotional insecurity, to address social isolation
