Helping Students with Depression
Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders faced by American children today. Current estimates suggest that as many as 3.2% of school-age children have been diagnosed with clinical depression. Further, roughly 9% of adolescents attempt suicide before they reach adulthood. Unfortunately, with COVID and other stressors in our society, these numbers are likely to continue to increase. This workshop explores how teachers and parents can identify depressed students as well as develop strategies and find resources that may help them.
