Spotlight on.... Help Seeking

Help-seeking is about communicating an issue or challenge to obtain support, advice or help. Asking for help can act as a protective factor for a child or young person’s mental health and wellbeing.

Getting support early can help prevent small issues or challenges continuing, or even getting bigger.

Ways to support and promote help seeking:

-Being able to recognise and describe emotions helps build confidence to seek help

-Role modelling asking for help

-Promoting a positive attitude towards asking and accepting help

-Identifying people, places and ways to seek help

-Having a plan in place and practise asking/signalling you need help 

-Exploring different strategies and building confidence to use your own tool box, knowing what works for you and what you feel comfortable using

-Sharing concerns and worries to minimise the risk of them getting bigger
