Getting help: when sadness or worry won't go away, sentence 5

What he came to understand: sadness or worry that goes on for weeks is a sign to get help, not something to hide; you don't need a "big reason"; asking for help is strong, not dramatic, and doctors and counsellors help children with this every day.

Who acts: gran, sadness, you, asking, doctors · What happens: come, understand, go on, be, get, hide · To what, where: sign, help, big reason, children · Speech: someone speaks here
