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 who discuss how teen depression feels, what to do if a friend confides in you, how to help someone who is struggling with depression, and what it feels like to return to school from the hospital. The presentation includes a question and answer session and talks about the warning signs, changes in behavior, and how to get help for yourself or a friend. This presentation has reached thousands of students and teachers. Past presentations include: New Trier High School's annual Mental Health Fair, New Trier's all-school teacher in-service and high school health and gym classes, all Loyola Academy sophomores, graduate social work students at Loyola University in Chicago, Regina Dominican High School, Hersey High School, Elk Grove High School, Woodlands Academy, Lake Forest High School, and Northwestern University graduate counseling students.
