Family Focus on Mental Health Over the Life Course
"Mental health" is more than the absence of mental illness. It is the balance among the social, physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects of life. Our mental health impacts our choices and our ability to life's challenges. In this issue, we explore the mental health of interracial couples; poor, rural mothers; noncustodial mothers; infants, and immigrant youth. We also include information on programs that connect families and individuals with mental health resources and mentoring programs.
