Can a Professional Helper Really Help Me?

Yeah right, can a professional helper really help me?

We know what you’re thinking, “Professional help??? What!?” We also know that in some situations, it may be difficult or embarrassing to share your experience with a friend or family member.

The benefit of talking to a professional is that they can offer advice and support from an outside perspective. They can also help you to realize that your thoughts and feelings regarding the trauma are normal, and provide you with new ideas to help you move forward to regain normalcy in your life.

How do I Find a Counselor?

You should talk to a parent or other trusted adult who can help you with the process of seeking a professional helper. This may be awkward to do, but we want to help you with this!

The Quick and Easy Guide to Finding a Counselor will help you and your parent figure out which professionals to seek, the most effective treatments for trauma, and where to look for these resources.
