If teachers would like more information on these health topics or other health topics download the AHS Provincial Teacher Resources List (http://www.albertahealthservices.ca/assets/info/school/csh/if-sch-csh-provincial-teacher-resource-list.pdf). The Provincial Teacher Resource List offers a variety of resources on different health topics that can be accessed across Alberta. There are two different categories of resources on this list, ‘Classroom Resources’ and ‘Supplementary Information’. The Classroom Resources can be used by the teacher in the classroom immediately and are applicable to teaching. Supplementary Information provides resources for teachers about a specific health topic.
Depression and Anxiety Self - Management for Teens
If you are having suicidal thoughts, talking to your friends about how you are feeling can help you feel supported. But it's important to talk to an adult you can trust (e.g., a parent, Elder, teacher, school counsellor, coach), they can help you figure out what steps to take to get the help you need.
If you are unsure who to talk to, help is available 24/7.
