Nadia is an apprentice electrician. For several weeks she has felt low and found it hard to concentrate during practical training, and she has started to wonder whether she has a mental health problem. She has not been assessed or diagnosed. Her tutor encourages her to attend optional supervised practice sessions, but Nadia chooses to watch instead of attempting the tasks herself.
Explain why self-stigma may make Nadia watch the practical sessions rather than take part, and how this could affect her progress.
