I. Background Information for Learners
Mental health. It’s the way your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect your life. Good mental
health leads to positive self-image and in-turn, satisfying relationships with friends and others.
Having good mental health helps you make good decisions and deal with life’s challenges at home,
work, or school.
It is not uncommon for teenagers to develop problems with their mental health. Problems can
range from mild to severe, and can include depression, anxiety, body esteem issues, and suicide,
among others.
Unfortunately, most young people with mental health problems don’t get any treatment for them.
Research shows that effective treatments are available that can help members of all racial,
ethnic, and cultural groups.
If you broke your leg or came down with pneumonia, you wouldn’t let it go untreated. Often
however, young people ignore mental health problems thinking they will “snap out of it,” or that they
are something to be ashamed of. That kind of thinking prevents people from getting the help they
need. Sometimes getting help is a matter of understanding mental health issues and changing your
mind about them.
SUPPORT STRATEGIES/COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
Here are some strategies for supporting someone with mental health concerns:
• Encourage the person to seek help and support from an adult.
• Spend time with the person, listen to his/her concerns.
• Be hopeful; help them feel like their life will get better.
• Stand by them. Invite your friend to things that you are doing; keeping busy and staying in touch
with friends will help your friend feel better, when they are ready.
• Learn as much as you can about mental illness so that you understand what is going on for them.
• If you are a close friend or family member of someone with a mental health problem, make sure
that you get help as well. Talk to someone about what is happening. This will help you be a better
support person.
• Put the person’s life before your friendship. If the person mentions thoughts of suicide, don’t keep
it secret, even if the person has asked you to.
