What Mental Health & Wellness Often Means

Mental wellness is about how we feel and function day to day—emotionally, socially, and mentally. It spans the experiences people talk about most often:

  • Stress from work, school, or long drives
  • Mood changes and emotional ups and downs
  • Sleep routines and small daily habits
  • Moments of support, calm, or balance
  • Talking with someone when things feel heavy
  • Building patterns around rest, connection, and community

This page does not diagnose or recommend treatments. It reflects everyday themes residents share.
