The conversation may forever shape the way that you think about how to care for self and others in God’s family. Dr. Yahnke will offer engaging clinical perspectives and strategies for use by moms, dads, colleagues, and friends who want to respond effectively to those who are hurting.
The rate of depression is increasing across age levels as countless individuals battle with depression, deep discouragement, or suicidal thoughts. COVID radically increased the levels of depression among us.
We’ll focus on how to detect and to respond to signs and symptoms of depression in children, teens, and adults. We’ll also examine how to remain healthy as you support a friend or loved one who may be struggling.
Attendees will be able to submit questions at the end of Dr. Yahnke's presentation.
