From Robin Williams’ death to our own experiences, depression is in the news and part of many people’s lives. But that doesn’t make speaking up about mental health easy. Come learn what you can do to raise awareness about depression.

We’ll discuss:

– What can cause depression and suicide

– How to help friends or family who might be depressed

– The most supportive, respectful language to use when talking about these issues

Whether you have personal experience with depression or are just learning how to talk and think about mental health, you are welcome.

The workshop will be facilitated by Sabrina Votava from the Youth Suicide Prevention Program.  Free. Open to youth aged 13–23.

Part of a new youth workshop series at KYRS.
