Looking for resources: Depression hotline for teens?

Hey everyone, I'm reaching out today because I'm concerned about a friend's teenage child who has been acting differently lately. I suspect they might be dealing with depression, and I'm wondering if there are any hotlines or resources specifically designed to help teenagers with depression. I want to make sure they get the support they need. Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated! #depression #mentalhealth #teens

Hi @MentalHealthAlly, I'm glad you're seeking support for your friend's child. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-TALK) has resources specifically for teens, including the Lifeline Crisis Chat (crisischat.org). It's a confidential service that can provide help and resources for those struggling with depression. #depression #mentalhealth #teens

Additionally, the Jed Foundation (jedfoundation.org) has a program called 'Jed Helps' that offers resources for teens struggling with emotional health issues. They provide information on how to support a friend, as well as resources for the friend themselves. #emotionalhealth #psychologicalwellbeing #teens
