Lesson Plan

Reach Out Now Facilitator Guide

Students will identify key members of their personal support networks and practice reaching out through mapping, peer brainstorming, and role-play to reinforce proactive help-seeking skills.

Many adolescents hesitate to seek help when facing challenges. By visualizing their support networks and rehearsing outreach strategies, learners build confidence, reduce isolation, and foster emotional resilience.
