It's no secret that children and adolescents have been struggling in the last year like none other. This book is great for quick, easy-to-implement strategies to help students struggling with depression. It has also given me tools, as a parent, to help my 14-year-old daughter at home. It's important to be able to determine the difference between everyday sadness and depression that is more debilitating which can cause longer-term hopelessness (suicidal thoughts, etc.). This book provides tips and tools for navigating depression in our youth. Kristen Tulisan School Counselor, Instagram @kirstenskaboodle The 15-Minute Focus: Depression begins by taking a much needed look at the difference in depression and sadness. There is a very helpful chapter on symptoms and key warning signs and another on the links between depression and other mental illnesses. School counselors will especially appreciate the chapters on the Mind and Depression and Tools for Schools. These chapters provide counselors with positive thinking strategies and a descriptive list of research-based tools that can be used by school counselor to helps students dealing with depression.
