Are we raising our kids to be aware that they can readily seek help whenever they need to?
Seeking help, both formal and informal, is crucial for our mental health and overall well-being. While seeking help has always been important, our awareness of it has improved over time. This is not just an individual issue; it is a systemic one influenced by social support, education systems, and the pressures of social media.
Along with it, I discussed the five ideas for raising kids who seek help. They need to know who they can go to for support. They need to hear stories of other people seeking help and how it made a difference. They need the skills to describe what they are feeling. They need to trust that it is emotionally safe for them to seek help. And finally, they need to understand that seeking help is not just for extreme situations but for any time they feel that life could be better or when they are carrying a burden that feels too heavy.
By following these ideas, we can raise kids who are more likely to seek help without hesitation, empowering them to improve their well-being and live healthier lives.
