Abstract:
Adolescence is a time of transition and many youth experience difficulty adjusting to new emotional, social and biological challenges and demands. While most of us manage to thrive during this period, it is not unusual for some to experience emotional and psychological problems that they cannot overcome on their own. This article provides a brief overview of the theory and research on adolescent mental health help-seeking with an emphasis on individual and cultural factors that affect whether youth with mental health problems manage to get appropriate care. A model for the mental health help-seeking process is presented, and this model is examined from a cultural standpoint.

Help-Seeking

The Prevention Researcher,
Volume 10, Number 4, 2003

Approximately 20% of all youth have some emotional or behavioral disorder which is serious enough to warrant intervention, yet the majority do not access services. Besides mental health concerns, adolescents are also grappling with impending independence, romantic relationships, and school demands. An important component of the coping process is seeing help from others. This issue of The Prevention Researcher examines how and from whom adolescents seek help.
