Learning outcome
I can explain how to ask for help.
Key learning points
- We should ask our family for help if we are upset, worried or sad.
- We can also ask trusted adults in school for help.
- Sometimes our family needs support.
- If we don't receive support the first time we ask for help, we should keep trying until we do.
Keywords
Trusted adult - someone we know offline who makes us feel safe and can help us
Support - to provide help and encouragement to others
Common misconception
Families don't need anyone else.
Families may rely on the support of other people in society to help keep family members safe and well. This is ok and very common.
