about us

Liverpool Mental Health Awareness (LMHA) understands mental health as personal development and well-being - emotionally, creatively, intellectually and spiritually.

Mental health can be demonstrated as the ability to:

• initiate, develop and sustain mutually satisfying personal relationships

• face problems, to resolve and learn from them

• be confident and assertive

• be aware of others and empathise with them

• use and enjoy solitude

• play and have fun

• laugh at both myself and the world.

Just as there are many issues which can affect our lives and our mental health, we believe there are many ways in which we can promote positive mental health and awareness of mental distress.

See the pages on promoting mental health and projects funded for practical examples of mental health promotion.
