Abstract
In a review of current literature focusing on help-seeking behaviors, adolescents, and barriers and motivators, several themes surfaced. The best way to synthesize these themes into a comprehensive format was to arrange them over a help-seeking continuum. This continuum, seen below, features the stages involved in the help-seeking process. A person seeking help may travel through this process using any of the stages before getting help for a problem. The influencing factors-motivators and barriers-play into the process at different points. These factors may stop the process, impede the process, or accelerate the process at any point.
