Template Wording for Students with Potential Anxiety or Depression

Hey there!

​

If you're feeling sad, hopeless, or anxious, you're not alone. It's normal to experience some stress or anxiety, but it's important to take care of your mental health.

​

Here are some things to keep in mind about anxiety and depression:

Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, and it can be mild or severe. Depression is a mood disorder that can cause a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in activities that you once enjoyed. Both anxiety and depression are treatable.

 

If you're experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, it's important to seek help. A good place to start is by completing a self-test to better understand your symptoms. You can find a self-test at https://www.depression.org.nz/is-it-depression-anxiety/self-test/. Depending on your results, there are tools, resources, and support available to help you.

 

You can also visit https://www.smallsteps.org.nz/ for more information on how to take small steps towards better mental health.

 

Remember, it's okay to ask for help! You can speak to your school counsellor or health care provider for additional support and guidance.

​

Take care of yourself and don't hesitate to reach out for help if you need it.
