This Year Mental Health Week

This year’s edition is under the theme of being able to understand our emotions. It is about accepting, labelling and recognizing your feelings as a step to protect and promote good healthy habits. To name and express your emotions is a great way to feel better about them and to keep healthy habits.

Emotional Literacy

If you are not familiar with the term “emotional literacy”, it means to be able to recognize how you feel, to understand how you feel and to be able to express how you feel. Being emotionally literate allows you to manage your emotions better and to regulate them. 

It can be hard to put words on emotions even if you are feeling them. Some emotions can be triggered by various events quickly and unconsciously.
