An integrated approach to health and wellness includes keeping the mind healthy, too. Finding healthy, constructive ways to cope with daily challenges can improve your health and quality of life. Mental health is becoming an increasingly important issue.

The articles in this section will offer suggestions for improving your stress management, relationship-building and communication skills, as well as dealing with addiction, adjusting to a new culture and other topics related to mental well being.
