This introductory session is aimed to provide caregivers with an overview of common issues which impact youth mental health. Caregivers will learn about common mental health issues amongst youth and learn about the signs and symptoms of illnesses such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders, and other behavioural disorders. Facilitators will discuss youth social media use and social and peer pressures. There will be discussions on self-harm as well as discussions on experimentation with drugs and alcohol and the effects this may have on the developing adolescent brain.
