Beschrijving:
How do we decide that what a person is experiencing is outside the range of the normal ups and downs we all go through? When is it time to seek assistance from professionals?

Seeking help and finding support for mental health issues can be a tricky business. From the outside, it’s often not clear when intervention is necessary, and people who are experiencing distress may themselves not always be aware of what’s going on, and can be reluctant to come forward for fear of being labeled.

When people know that they will not be discriminated against or harassed, they are much more likely to seek help. Early intervention is important and chances of a quick recovery.

This lesson will address the issues around help seeking, as well as providing ideas about ways in which that help and support can be accessed, within the school and beyond.
