Mental Health IS Wealth – Dr. Catherine Jackson

How often when you think about building wealth do you think about your mental health? For most of us, the answer to this is little if at all. When most of us think of wealth building we think of money. Obtaining it, maintaining it, and having so much of it we can pass it down through the generations. Typically and traditionally building wealth involves generating and sustaining long-term income through a variety of income sources, savings, and investments that allow us to engage in the betterment of society as a whole through philanthropic efforts.  However, mental health is wealth.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and ...
