HELP IS AVAILABLE FOR TROUBLED TEENS
This, our second program on teen mental health, provides an update with the executive director of the Lorain county mental health board, Kathleen Kern. Did you know that 25% of teens in the United States suffer from some sort of depression? This is a serious problem for some teens, especially in this day of cyber space with the large amount of time teens are spending in front of video screens. Kern discusses the problem of teen depression in this informative interview, offering some helpful remedies to parents and students including a crisis text line and a web site which can immediately help students who are trying to combat depression.
