The results indicate a significant relationship between mental health knowledge and help-seeking behavior, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.000 (below 0.05). The correlation between the two variables is 0.435, which indicates a moderate and positive correlation. This means that the lower the mental health knowledge, the lower the help-seeking behavior. The study emphasizes the importance of students' proactive role in increasing their awareness of mental health. Students are encouraged to seek information from credible sources, such as books, scientific articles, seminars, and training sessions.
