Lesson Overview

17.20 – How to Talk to Teachers About Mental Health: Teachers aren’t therapists, but they can make your school experience more manageable when they understand your needs. Choose a calm moment to explain that you’re working on managing anxiety, depression, or stress. You don’t need to overshare—focus on what helps you succeed, like seat placement, flexible deadlines, or quiet passes. Be direct but respectful, and thank them for listening. Follow up with updates so they see your effort. When teachers understand your plan, they become allies rather than enforcers. The relationship strengthens through trust and communication. Honesty about mental health invites empathy, not pity, and teaches both sides how compassion supports education.
