Danny Reaches Out When He Needs Help | Ep 3 of 4 | Teen Mental Health Series | Trauma Survivor



Watching Angel shoot hoops at the park, Danny summons the courage to ignore his negative thoughts and play one on one with his brother. Walking to occupational therapy after, Danny feels normal for the first time in months – until some guys on the street mock his prosthetic hand. Danny quickly spirals into self-loathing and regret, remembering the relationships and activities that will never be the same again.

Though he is despairing, Danny uses his safety plan to help himself cope, and when he finally arrives at Dr. Everton’s office, he asks her for the name of a therapist to talk to.
