Graphs for two of our survey questions Based on a survey of Edgewood teachers and parents
Interviews This is Kelsey. She was diagnosed with clinical Depression in high school, when she nearly took Her own life due to her un-treated depression. She shared her story with us all about how essential It is to educate others about depression. We also interviewed Dr. Debra Pacchiano, from the Ounce of Prevention Fund. She said, “We need government involved. It can’t just be doctors and family, there has to be education.” We also interviewed Dr. Mark Goldstein, a licensed psychologist who has his own center. When we asked him if he thinks that the GCN teacher tutorial on suicide prevention would be beneficial, he said, “This is a great idea, teachers often don’t know what to do in this situation.”
This graph shows how many people, ages 12-17, by gender, have had depression
