Session Description: The goal of this training is to help identify the warning signs of depression and anxiety in teens and adolescents. In today’s society our adolescents are dealing with varying degrees of stress that incudes, families, school, peer, social unrest and even a pandemic. There is a link between stress, depression and anxiety and we understand that the brain functioning and development can be negatively impacted by these factors. Our goal is to identify the warning signs, help teach coping skills to help adolescents deal with anxiety and depression and if needed make the appropriate referral for treatment.
