Description

This study examines mental health literacy (MHL) and help-seeking behaviors among 7th grade students following the Nan Project presentation. Using MHL and help-seeking measures, the study assessed students’ knowledge of mental health concepts and their attitudes toward seeking support. Findings indicate students’ levels of mental health understanding and corresponding help-seeking tendencies. Given that suicide is a leading cause of death among adolescents (CDC, 2024), these results highlight the importance of early intervention to strengthen mental health knowledge and support-seeking behaviors.
