“My mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are so many helpers, so many caring people in this world.”
Fred Rogers
Did you know that study after study proves that people of all ages, especially young people, have less anxiety, depression and mental health issues when they are the helpers, when they have at least partial control over whatever is troubling them? People actually thrive when they can be part of the solution, rather than being consumed by feelings of hopelessness and helplessness.
WHY are we not running with this??? WHY is this not a priority for schools, churches, counselors, community centers and well… everywhere? The next time you wonder how to talk to the young people in your life about the latest tragedy, disaster or simply the struggles of everyday life, take a new approach. Teach them how to be a helper. Show them what needs to be done and how they can participate to feel good about themselves instead of bad about the world.
The truth is, it’s never been easier to become the helper that Mr. Rogers is talking about.
