Mentally healthy individuals realize their abilities, cope effectively with the everyday stresses encountered in life, show resilience during extreme events in life, perform efficiently, and participate in the community's development.

It also social workers' mental health services in educational institutions, communities, hospitals, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
