Getting help: when sadness or worry won't go away, sentence 6
Help has many doors: a parent, a teacher, the school nurse, a counsellor, a doctor, or a children's helpline, where real, trained people listen; a note to a teacher works if saying it out loud is too hard.
Who acts: Help, real trained people, note, saying · What happens: have, train, listen, work, say out, be · To what, where: many doors, helpline, help
