As high school faculty or staff, you and your colleagues are in a unique position to help students recognize depression in themselves, or their friends, and encourage them to seek help for this common and treatableproblem.

This FREE 60-minute webinar on Teen Depression and Suicide Risk is designed to show teachers, counselors, school nurses, psychologists & other school personnel how they can effectively incorporate depression education into the classroom, using a ground-breaking new film, More Than Sad: Teen Depression, developed by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The film features four vignettes that will help students recognize the varied signs and symptoms of depression, reduce their misconceptions & apprehensions about treatment, & promote help-seeking behavior.

Following completion of the webinar, and a brief feedback form, participants will receive a complimentary copy of More Than Sad: Teen Depression (valued at $49.99) to use with your students. The film comes packaged with easy-to-use materials, including a sample lesson plan, handouts and a pre-post quiz that will maximize students' educational experience.
