Lately, have you been feeling more checked out than usual?

You might notice:
• Zoning out more often
• Feeling disconnected from your surroundings
• Trouble staying focused during conversations
• Things feeling different in a way that’s hard to explain

Experiences like this can happen for different reasons. But if they continue, it’s worth paying attention.

Checking in with yourself — or someone you trust — can be a strong first step.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Myth: Mental health challenges are rare
Fact: 1 in 5 young people experience a mental health challenge each year

That means if something has been feeling off, overwhelming, or hard to explain, you’re not the only one going through it.

Even though it can feel isolating, many people your age are navigating similar experiences.

You don’t need to wait until things get worse to check in or get support. Talking to someone you trust or reaching out can be a strong first step.

You’re not alone in this.

Sometimes you notice something feels off, not with you, but with someone you care about.

If you’re worried about a young person in your life, you don’t need to have all the answers.

Start small:
• Check in
• Listen without trying to fix everything
• Let them know you’re there
• Encourage them to talk to someone they trust

Showing up matters more than saying the perfect thing.

Noticing changes early can help you understand what’s going on.

Your identity is something to be proud of, and your mental health matters just as much.

Not sure what you’re feeling?

You don’t need to figure everything out at once. Start small:

• Pause and give yourself a moment
• Try to name what feels different
• Write down what you’re experiencing
• Talk to someone you trust

If a few of these feel helpful, that’s a great sign you’re already taking a step in the right direction.

You don’t need the perfect words to ask for support.
