| Course Description: Depression is a common mood disorder that many of us are all too familiar with especially may be experienced due to the current health pandemic. Some have experienced it themselves while others have watched family members or close friends suffer from it, and others have suspected that students who they work with are demonstrating depressive symptoms. In this course, you will learn about depression, where it comes from, what it looks like, how it may affect children from all different races, cultures, ethnicity and socio-economic backgrounds. 1. Participants will learn what depression looks like in students within the classroom setting and consider the implication and effects of depression on classroom performance and school attendance. 2. Participants will identify strategies and supports for students with depression and related symptoms. 3. Participants will apply the theoretical into practice. 4.

Educators not currently teaching will have the opportunity to share related experience, research and have opportunities to communicate with course participants and the instructor. 6.
