Abstract
- Seeking professional psychological help with regard to psychological distress is particularly pertinent to the youth population of New Zealand. A study aimed to identify factors that have the highest impact on professional psychological help-seeking amongst adolescents. Suicidal ideation, psychological distress, attitudes, gender, prior help-seeking and treatment fears were significant predictors. However higher rates of suicidal ideation resulted in lower levels of help seeking intentions for suicidal thoughts.
