Well, emotional resilience is mental health. I think the problem with mental health framing is label obsession, rather than thinking of mental health like physical health: something to be maintained through healthy habits.
If you want to be physically healthy, you eat nutritious, balanced foods and get regular exercise and sufficient sleep.
If you want to be mentally healthy, you practice healthy ways to experience and work through your negative feelings rather than trying to avoid or control them. Etc.
