Most teens have "down days" and many struggle with negative moods on a more regular basis. How do we differentiate negative moods from clinical depression? What do we need to know about suicidal thoughts and impulses? What can parents do? This session will be a primer for parents of teens, with ample opportunity for questions and discussion.
Presented by Cheryl King, Ph.D.
