question 5 of 10
when someone doesn’t get help because they fear being stigmatized, what can you do?
select a response.

• ignore them.
• share information about their mental health condition with as many people as possible.
• compare mental health to physical health.
• sign them up for an appointment with a school counsellor.

Explanation:

To address the fear of stigma preventing help - seeking, we analyze each option:

• "Ignore them" is unhelpful as it doesn't assist the person.
• "Share information about their mental health condition with as many people as possible" can increase stigma, so it's wrong.
• "Compare mental health to physical health" helps reduce stigma by showing that mental health issues are like physical ones (e.g., needing care), making the person more likely to seek help.
• "Sign them up for an appointment with a school counsellor" is inappropriate as we can't force someone into counseling; they need to be willing.

Answer:

C. Compare mental health to physical health. (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A - D with A being "Ignore them", B being "Share...", C being "Compare...", D being "Sign...")
