Getting help: care options and resources

What you’ll learn in this quiz

Choosing help can feel overwhelming, so these questions focus on the real-world basics: what different care options are, who they’re for, and how to access them. You’ll practice matching needs (urgency, symptoms, preferences, cost) to appropriate resources.

Every question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through scenarios without pressure. Before you start, pick your preferred question count and difficulty—Mixed mode blends easier definitions with more applied decision-making.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many people confuse crisis services with ongoing therapy, or assume one type of provider fits every situation. This quiz highlights frequent mix-ups and teaches you how to spot red flags like unreliable sources, unclear credentials, or “one-size-fits-all” promises.

• Mixing up emergency/crisis support with routine care and follow-up
• Assuming medication and therapy are mutually exclusive options
• Overlooking peer support, community services, and workplace/school resources
• Waiting for a “perfect” moment instead of taking a safe first step
• Relying on unverified online advice instead of evidence-based resources

How the difficulty is balanced

Mixed difficulty means you’ll see straightforward knowledge checks (terms, roles, access points) alongside scenario-style questions that test judgment. If you want a gentler warm-up, choose an easier setting; if you want more challenge, increase difficulty for more nuanced comparisons between services and next-step choices.

Tips for getting the most out of your score

Review explanations for any missed items and note patterns: are you unsure about provider roles, confidentiality, or when to escalate care? Retake with a different question count to focus your practice—short sets for quick refreshers, longer runs for building consistency.
