Help Seeking

As part of our Social Emotional Teaching each year the students reflect on help seeking skills. Over the next few weeks our classes will be exploring this concept. Knowing who their trusted adults are is an important part of help seeking and one that will be explored with all students. 

Learning activities in this topic area are designed to help students discuss the importance of seeking help and providing peer support when dealing with problems that are too big to solve alone. This helps to normalise and destigmatise help-seeking behaviour. Scenario-based activities help students identify situations in which help should be sought, identify trusted sources of help, and practice seeking help from peers and adults.

Some problems are too big to solve alone. 

It’s ok to ask for help. 

We explore different situations where we look at:

• when to seek help 
• who we can trust to ask for help.

We practise seeking help from peers and adults.
