Upcoming community professionals workshops

Understanding Depression

This workshop will look at how the diagnosis of depression affects children and young people.

Depression is common in young people. This workshop will equip participants with the knowledge to identify signs and symptoms of depression and an understanding of risk and protective factors in the development of depression. Participants will learn what they can do to reduce the impact of depression on young people. We will discuss the importance of early identification and treatment for young people, the types of support that is available for young people and how and when to refer to these services.

This workshop will be facilitated by Orygen.

This session will be delivered online.
