The first step to helping yourself is admitting that you need help. It is hard to admit that you need help, trust me I know lots about it because I have lots of trouble admitting that I need help with anything. There are many ways to help yourself but it all depends on what you need help with. The thing is that there are not many options for kids that are in care that the government will provide to them so that they can get help. The thing is that the government lumps people together, and thinks that we all can benefit from the same type of help.
The problem is that each youth deals with their problems in different ways, and all individuals need different types of help to deal with those problems. Even if it is the same problem between two youths. The government thinks that all the kids in care can just open up about what is troubling them. They try to push them into talking which just makes things worse. One of the places that the government mainly offers to the youth is Access Open Minds.
The thing is that people don’t only need help mentally like the government thinks that they do sometimes it is just that they need someone that truly can show them that they care for them. The government lets the youth fall through the cracks. This leads to bigger problems because not having someone that cares for them makes them lose all hope in life.
