- Title
Developing an Educational Workshop on Teen Depression and Suicide: A Proactive Community Intervention.
- Authors
McArt, Ebba W.; Shulman, Donald A.; Gajary, Elizabeth
- Abstract
Community outreach activities showed that adolescents and parents in Monroe County, New York, had difficulty identifying and accessing mental health crisis services for youths. The need to address this deficit led to the development of an educational workshop on teen depression and suicide. Local, national, and international trends in teen suicide led the authors to suggest a proactive, preventive educational approach that includes both primary and secondary prevention modalities, made directly available to teens, parents, and youth professionals. Additionally, the program developed new partnerships between mental health agencies and schools through workshops and workshop presenter training.
