May is mental health awareness month.

It's easy to get caught up in the daily grind but so important to keep track of your and your loved ones' mental health. Recent statistics show more teenagers, especially teenage girls are struggling with depression.

Keli Acquaro, acting administrator for the Department of Health's Child & Adolescent Mental Health Division, says it is key for parents to discuss the importance of mental health with their children.

She also explains where to get help and how parents can show support, raise awareness, and break the stigma and judgements about people experiencing mental illness.
