Understanding, Supporting and Connecting with Teens with Depression

When our teens are struggling with depression, we can feel lost about how to best support them. How do we know when they are experiencing a mental health challenge and when should we intervene? Learn from Karen Peters, Registered Clinical Counsellor, and Victoria Keddis, a parent with lived experience, as they talk about how depression shows up in teens and ways of journeying with them through it.

This video presentation will be followed by a discussion facilitated by the Family Peer Support Workers in Richmond.

We will be hosting this in-person event at Richmond Public Library 100-7700 Minoru Gate Richmond. Please check in with the front desk when you arrive. 

This event is for parents/caregivers only and is an informal opportunity to connect and learn with other families.

We are not able to provide childcare. 

The event is free. 

Please register as the library is generously offering us space, and we want to make sure we are ready to welcome you.

Doors will open at 6:45 PM and the video presentation will begin at 7:00 PM.
