Description The rate of depression is increasing among adolescents. This increase is associated with various challenges in social, family, and academic domains and is likely to impact the classroom. Many adolescents are being untreated due to symptoms not being identified and appropriately referred for mental health treatment. Teachers are in a position in which they can observe signs and symptoms of depression in their students. Unfortunately, teachers have limited training to understand symptoms they may be observing among their students in the classroom. Teachers need professional development training to increase knowledge of signs and symptoms observed in students, build confidence in identifying these symptoms, and to know how to refer the student to the appropriate professionals for increased assessment. This curriculum project was created to provide increased education to teachers regarding depression in adolescents and when and how to alert the appropriate school personnel for possible concerns.
