THEMES
Mental health is how we think, feel and act as we cope with life. It also helps determine how we
handle stress, relate to others and make choices. Like physical health, mental health is important
at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

Everyone feels worried, anxious, sad or stressed sometimes. But with a mental illness, these
feelings do not go away and are severe enough to interfere with your daily life. It can make it
hard to meet and keep friends, hold a job or enjoy your life.

Mental health can be seen as a continuum, where in an individual's mental health may have
many different possible values. Mental wellness is generally viewed as a positive attribute,
such that a person can reach enhanced levels of mental health, even if they do not have any
diagnosable mental health condition. The definition of mental health highlights emotional
well being, the capacity to live a full and creative life, and the flexibility to deal with life's
inevitable challenges.

Emotional wellbeing of the workers is crucial at the workplace. Stress at work can lead to loss of
concentration in work which will affect our life and other people life that has significant link in
with us such as our family, colleague, employer, customer, friend, etc. Good mental health
management of the company or the organisation creates a conducive workplace and healthy
working environment which reflects in higher productivity and increase morale of the workers.
The uncontrolled mental wellbeing of workers leads to mental disorder or mental illness which
normally referred to a psychological or physiological pattern that occurs in an individual and is
usually associated with distress or disability that is not expected as part of normal development
or culture.

The incidents which we read in the newspaper where workers try to commit suicide and incidents
associated with distress or stress at work are something need to be addressed by all parties involve
in the wellbeing of the workers. The incidents at workplace is not only caused by the act of the
individual or people, but it also caused by the psychological or physiological pattern that occurs
in an individual or people.

Emotional problem or problem related to mental stress and workers wellbeing can be treated
and overcome. Our speakers will share experience in how to handle and overcome the
problems related to mental illness such as inability to cope with problems and daily activities,
work stress, excessive anxieties, depression and apathy, anger management, violent behavior,
abuse of alcohol and drugs, etc.
