When to ask for help

It’s important to seek help when your mental health is significantly impacting your well-being and daily functioning. Some signs to watch for:

  • Changes in behavior that are affecting your school or work performance
  • Intense worrying or fear
  • Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
  • Noticeable changes in your eating or sleeping habits
  • Trouble coping with life’s daily challenges
  • Withdrawing from friends, family or activities you once enjoyed
  • Significant mood changes or swings
  • Feeling sad or disinterested for long periods of time
  • Increased reliance on substances (alcohol, drugs) to cope

If you’re unsure where to seek help, our mental health case managers can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation. See more mental health resources.
