Depression is very common in teens. In fact, 1 in 5 teen girls and 1 in 14 teen boys report experiencing depression in the past year alone. Depression may look and feel different among teens--one teen may appear sad, a second teen may appear bored, a third teen may appear irritated, and a fourth teen may not appear different from their usual selves at all! Some symptoms of depression, including thoughts of suicide, cannot be seen by others, so depression may go unnoticed in teens.

This webinar will address what the symptoms of depression are and how to recognize them in teens. We will also discuss how you can look after your own and your teen’s mental health and present a screening for suicidal ideation that anyone can use.
