Well-being involves feeling good, functioning well, experiencing positive emotions and striving to be your best self. It also means having a sense of purpose, feeling that what you do matters, and enjoying healthy, supportive relationships. Children and youth with a sense of well-being feel like they belong. They have a positive self-image, strong relationship skills, can manage difficulties; and they are more motivated and engaged in learning. ⁠
