Despite being trained to support others, counselors and mental health professionals often face personal barriers to seeking help themselves. This presentation will examine the reluctance of counselors to seek professional support despite their expertise in facilitating help-seeking behaviors in others. The presenters will explore stigma, individual factors, and systemic challenges that inhibit help-seeking within the helping profession. By framing help-seeking as a strength rather than a liability, the mental health field can foster greater practitioner wellness and enhance client care.
