Red Flags

This program shows parents, teachers, school counselors and nurses, the signs and symptoms of mental illness in children and gives them the tools to get the help a child needs. Information is presented through Claire’s Story, a three-part video to be used in middle schools, which tells the story of a young girl who is diagnosed with clinical depression and her recovery. Some program goals are to:

    1) raise awareness about mental disorders in children;

    2) reduce stigma; and

    3) increase treatment advocacy.
