Bezmaksas tiešsaistes lekcija vecākiem par pusaudžu depresijas atpazīšanu un profilaksi

We invite parents to participate in a series of six online lectures on recognizing adolescent depression, prevention, and support options.

The lectures are intended for parents whose families are raising adolescents, to provide knowledge, support, and practical tools for everyday situations. The sessions will take place on weekday evenings from 19.00 to 20.00, offering the opportunity to conveniently connect after work.

In recent years, mental health difficulties among adolescents have increased rapidly, and depression is one of the most common problems at this age. It can manifest in various ways - from withdrawal and irritability to serious risks to a child's safety. Often these signs are noticed late or associated with “normal adolescent difficulties.” Parental awareness and timely action can be crucial in helping a young person maintain emotional balance and receive support in time.

Lecture times and topics:

5 October - What is depression in adolescence?

12 October - Risk factors - what increases the likelihood of depression?

19 October - Protective factors - what helps a young person feel better?

26 October - How can parents support a young person?

2 November - Where to seek help and what to do in a crisis situation?

9 November - From knowledge to action - how to support an adolescent in everyday life?

The lectures will be led by Elīna Bārtule, a certified clinical and health psychologist, cognitive behavioral therapy specialist with extensive experience working with adolescents and their families.

Participation in the lectures is free of charge, and they provide parents with a unique opportunity both to gain new knowledge and to strengthen skills that help better understand and support their adolescent.
