SUPPORT FOR SCHOOLS

Schools play a key role in the early identification and intervention of students showing signs of depression. Our comprehensive approach has three parts: 1. training faculty to recognize the important role they play in identifying students who might need emotional support, 2. a curriculum for students about mental illness and social well being, 3. education for parents.

Past Presentations

Our teen panel consists of high school students that presents a discussion on what teen depression feels like, what to do if a friend confides to you that they are thinking of hurting themselves, how to help someone that is struggling with depression, and what it feels like to return to school from the hospital. They have a question and answer sessions and talk about the warning signs, changes in behavior, and how to get help for yourself or a friend. This presentation has reached hundreds of students and teachers. Past presentations include: the annual Mental Health Fair at New Trier, all school teacher in - service at New Trier, high school health and gym classes, all the sophomores at Loyola Academy, and graduate social work students at Loyola University in Chicago.
