Seeking Mental Health Support

Read the situations and think about safe, practical ways to get support. There is no single perfect way to ask for help. If someone is in immediate danger, tell a trusted adult straight away or call 999.

Notice what is going on

Mental health can affect thoughts, feelings, relationships and everyday activities. Everyone has difficult days, but ongoing changes or distress may be a sign that someone would benefit from support.

1.Which two examples could be signs that someone may need extra mental health support? Choose two.
  • Feeling worried most days and avoiding activities they usually enjoy
  • Having one disappointing day and then feeling better
  • Finding it hard to sleep or concentrate for several weeks
  • Getting a paper cut
2.A person’s struggles are affecting their daily life. Give one reason why asking for help early can be useful.
3.True or false? You need to know exactly what is wrong before you can speak to someone about how you are feeling.

Choose a safe next step

Jacob has stopped going to an after-school club she used to enjoy. For a few weeks, she has felt tense and has been sleeping poorly. She is not sure how to explain it, but she would like some help.

4.Suggest one trusted person Jacob could speak to, and one other source of support she could consider in the UK.
5.Which opening sentence would make it easiest for Jacob to start a conversation?
  • “I’ve been feeling tense and sleeping badly for a few weeks. Could we talk?”
  • “You must guess what is wrong with me.”
  • “I should keep this secret even if I need help.”
6.Confidentiality means that information is generally treated privately. Give one reason a professional might need to share information with another person.
7.Put these steps in a sensible order by writing 1, 2 and 3 beside them: speak to a chosen trusted person; notice and name what has been difficult; agree a next step together.

Supporting a friend

A friend tells you they have been feeling low and says, “Please don’t tell anyone.” You want to be kind, but you also want them to be safe.

8.Choose the best response to your friend.
  • Listen without judging, thank them for telling you, and offer to help them speak to a trusted adult
  • Promise to keep everything secret no matter what
  • Tell them they are overreacting and change the subject
  • Try to diagnose them yourself
9.Write one kind sentence you could say to a friend who is struggling, and one helpful action you could take.
10.If someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent medical help in the UK, what should they do? Name one action.
