Exercise

What you do with your body can have a powerful affect on your mind. Mental wellbeing means feeling good, about yourself and about the world around you. It means being able to get on with life in the way that you want.

What COVID-19 has taught us about human connection

What COVID-19 has taught us about human connection

One thing we have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic experience is that we are not happy when we are separated from others – loved ones, colleagues and even people we do not know.

Sometimes it seems that it is only when things are taken away, that we learn to appreciate their value and importance.
