Research indicates that individuals who have high levels of mental health literacy engage in help seeking for mental health issues more in comparison to those with low mental health literacy levels. It is therefore important to ensure that young people are able to identify signs of psychological distress and identify appropriate supports and resources when necessary. Preliminary research has identified gender differences in help-seeking and identification of mental health problems. Through determining the level of mental health literacy of senior secondary students within a school environment and also their levels of wellbeing and attitudes toward help-seeking, results of this research will enable practitioners to foster positive outcomes and develop targeted interventions towards improving mental health literacy and help-seeking behaviour in the future.
