Who can help? It's ok to ask for help.

It's a good idea to talk to someone when you're feeling sad or worried. This could be your parents, a teacher, well-being staff at school or Dr. 

By getting help, you can learn how to feel better and happier. So, remember, it's okay to ask for help when you're not feeling great inside.
