During #backtoschool season, help raise awareness about the importance of child and adolescent mental health by sharing informational materials based on the latest research. Share science. Share hope.
Being a teenager can be tough, but it shouldn’t feel hopeless. Check your symptoms, and find out what you can do if you think you might have depression.
When the online world gets overwhelming, one of the quickest and easiest
ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental
health condition is to take an anonymous screen.
Mental Health America has online screening tools, including one that is youth-focused and one for parents. After the screen, Mental Health America will provide you with more information and help you to figure out next steps based on your results.
Children and teens are experiencing intense emotions while spending much of their lives online. Learn more and find #mentalhealth resources from Mental Health America:
