This proposal explores social work students’ help-seeking behavior regarding mental health challenges. Our poster will include a literature review about help-seeking behavior specifically among BSW and MSW students. Additionally, we will include quantitative analyses about who BSW and MSW seek support from in on-campus resources and off-campus resources.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Attendees acknowledge the importance of understanding social work students’ help-seeking behaviors when faced with mental health challenges.
  2. Attendees understand social work students' preferred resources in promoting help-seeking behaviors for mental health challenges.
  3. Attendees generate ideas for appropriate support strategies that could be offered on and off campus.
