You’re worried. Your child has been sad or irritable for days and doesn’t seem interested in activities they usually find fun. For 1 in 10 adolescents, it’s ‘depression’.

This webinar will focus on these topics:
- What is “major depression?”
- Assessing depression in teens
- How to get help
- Treatment of depression
- Parenting a teen with depression
- Depression in teens and COVID-19
