Suicide is the second leading cause of death for children, adolescents, and young adults ages 15 to 24. Yet this important topic is one we often feel uncomfortable talking about. Here to explain why a discussion can in fact provide assurance, is world-renowned psychiatrist Dr. Harold Koplewicz.
Join us when this important author will discuss the growing problem of teenage depression in America and offer helpful guidelines for parents on how to recognize the difference between normal teenage angst, anger, disappointment, sadness, and true depression. Dr. Koplewicz will also discuss the role of family history, rejection, and impulsivity, and parents will learn how to recognize the warning signs, demystify the treatment process, and break down the stigma.
Join us and learn how to prevent and counteract the general anxiety and emotional fragility prevalent in children and teenagers today and gain an understanding of how to best provide children with steady and warm emotional nourishment on the path toward independence and strength.
Dr. Koplewicz is widely recognized as an innovator and a strong advocate for child mental health, and a master clinician. He is the President of The Child Mind Institute, the only independent non-profit organization exclusively dedicated to transforming mental healthcare for the world’s children.
He has been at the forefront of public education to dispel the myths and stigma surrounding psychiatric disorders of children and adolescents, and he appears regularly as an expert contributor on many national media outlets.
Note: A conversation will follow with Glenbard D87 Assistant Superintendent of Student Services, Janet Cook.
