Screening for depression is incredibly important! 1 million youths suffer from depression, but 60-80% of these do not receive help. Holding a screening in your school or community can go a long way to getting people to be more aware of mental health issues and also help them get necessary help.

There are many organizations that can help you set up a screening, providing resources about how to gather support and organize public health professionals. Two places to start are Teenscreen.org and Mentalhealthscreening.org.
