Depression: Out of the Shadows



PARENT TO PARENT

Does your child have severe emotional, behavioral problems?

Numerous in school and/or out of school suspensions?
 

Much difficulty getting along with others/rages, outbursts?  
 

Extremely sad with feelings of hopelessness, emptiness, crying for no reason?  
 

Difficulty concentrating, completing schoolwork/homework, maintaining grades?

Constant physical problems; i.e., stomachaches, headaches, weight changes (gain or loss)?

Talk about “wishing he/she could just die”?

NAMI Mississippi offers a FREE 12 hour education class where you can receive support from other parents just like you in a confidential setting.

Topics covered in this class include:

ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Childhood Depression, Anxiety Disorders, etc.

Problem Management
 

MS Families as Allies representative presents information on their services 

So many times parents are told it is their fault when their child is sick.  Parent to Parent is a place where parents can come to learn new tools for dealing with their child in an atmosphere of “no shame, no blame”.
