Lesson Overview

23.11 – Talking to Teachers or Staff About Mental Health: Discussing mental health with adults at school can feel intimidating, but most educators want to help once they understand. Plan what you’ll say beforehand: describe how your struggles affect focus, energy, or participation. Use examples rather than labels to make it concrete. Choose a private setting and a calm moment to talk. Honesty builds bridges, and you deserve support without shame. Teachers can’t read your mind; clear communication helps them respond with empathy. When you advocate for accommodations or check-ins, you create a healthier learning environment for yourself. Sharing mental health needs models courage for peers who might also be struggling silently. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s partnership between you and those who can help you thrive.
