Mental Health has been identified as a priority health concern and is a part of the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).

Mental health is an essential part of overall well-being affecting how we think, feel, and act. It influences our ability to cope with stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health conditions can range from common issues like anxiety and depression to more severe conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Just like physical health, mental health is crucial for a fulfilling and productive life. Mental health issues can affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. They often go hand-in-hand with physical health problems and can make managing other chronic conditions more challenging. Addressing mental health is critical for improving quality of life, reducing the burden on healthcare systems, and fostering healthier communities.
