Mental health is not simply the absence of mental illness but also encompasses emotional, and behavioral health and the ability to cope with life’s challenges. Left unmet, mental health problems are linked to costly negative outcomes such as academic and behavior problems, difficulties with relationships, dropping out, and delinquency.
