What is emotional intelligence?

Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognise, understand, and manage emotions in yourself and others. It helps people communicate better, make thoughtful decisions, and build healthier relationships.

Why is emotional intelligence important for wellbeing?

Emotional intelligence helps people handle stress, manage conflict, and respond thoughtfully instead of reacting emotionally. These skills improve resilience and personal wellbeing.

How can I improve emotional intelligence?

You can improve emotional intelligence through self-reflection, learning from emotional experiences, practicing empathy, and developing awareness of how emotions influence behaviour.

Where can I find emotional wellbeing tools?

New Mental Health Resources | Emotional Intelligence Developer

Since I started my Mental Health Help page HERE, I have been contacted by various companies that have asked me to add their Mental Health resources to my page. I’m thrilled that these people have reached out. Getting information for Mental Health help is not easy. Resources are hard to find. Below are some wonderful people that have asked me to add their information to my page. Since these additions are new, I wanted to bring your attention to them. Take a minute to look these over. There may be something here that will be the right answer for you or someone you know.

Illnesses and other tragedies can bring on Depression and other mental health problems. The website Asbetos.com is sponsored by The Mesothelioma Center. This wonderful website deals with not only Mesothelioma, but the Mental Health issues that often accompany a diagnosis. You can find more information and resources HERE. and HERE.

*Do you have information about an organization that has help available to people with mental health concerns? Or do you know of a hotline, crisis phone number, or website that I do not have listed on my Help Page? If so, please contact me and if it applies, I will add the information to my Mental Health Help page.

The Suicide Prevention Hotline in the US, available 24/7, is 988. If you have any problem with this #, please dial the old # 1-800-273-8255.
