help-seekers
People requesting assistance
Help-seekers are people actively looking for assistance, information, or support.
The term appears in research contexts—psychology, social work, healthcare—to describe those who reach out rather than struggle alone: The study examined barriers that prevent help-seekers from accessing mental health services.
It implies agency: help-seekers take initiative rather than waiting passively.
