When hearing the term ‘mental health’, most people think of mental illness.
A growing body of research demonstrates the ability of individuals to improve their mental health through a range of simple behaviours, but it is difficult to get people to engage with mental health as a topic and undertake proactive preventive behaviours because of the stigma associated with mental illness.
This presentation will outline recent advances in mental health promotion and describe a study that investigated the barriers and motivators relevant to behaviours that can enhance mental health.
Recommendations are provided for individuals wanting to maximise their mental health and for public policy makers seeking to promote mental health at the population level.
