Each year in the Gunston Experience 10 class, students participate in the ADAP program, which provides students important information about mental health and the signs and symptoms of adolescent depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. A core message of the program is that these disorders are treatable medical illnesses and that concerned individuals should seek help. 
 
We want to make you aware of a series of webinars offered to parents and teachers. The first webinar, “Mental Health Challenges for Adolescents in the Covid Era," will be on Wednesday, February 24 at 7:00 PM. In this webinar, psychiatrist Dr. Karen Swartz, Director of Clinical Programs at the Johns Hopkins Mood Disorder Center, will be discussing the mental health challenges adolescents face during this extraordinary period.

Future webinars will discuss depression, anxiety, and substance use in adolescents.
