Need a Hand? Lesson Plan

Students will learn and practice a structured, four-step approach to asking for help—identifying needs, choosing the right person, planning their request, and communicating clearly—so they can confidently advocate for themselves.

Mastering effective help-seeking empowers students to reduce stress, build independence, and foster stronger relationships by ensuring they get the support they need when they need it.
