Typically, helpers are good at asking for help for themselves when they need it.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Rarely

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is self-care and help-seeking behavior among helpers. While helpers are trained to support others and to model healthy help-seeking, many find it difficult to ask for help themselves. This reluctance often comes from a culture of resilience, fear of appearing incompetent, concerns about boundary management, and stigma around needing support. Because of that, the statement that helpers are typically good at asking for help for themselves isn’t accurate. In practice, they may delay or avoid seeking help, which can contribute to burnout or reduced effectiveness. Emphasizing supervision, peer support, or personal therapy as normal, healthy practices helps counter this tendency and reinforces that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.
