Prevention of Teen Depression and Suicide in Law Enforcement Families

This conference workshop presentation teaches viewers the key ingredients to building individual resiliency and how to also build a more supportive and resilient foundation for their law enforcement family. Teenage depression and suicide has become a national epidemic. Rates of depression among 14-17-year olds have increased over 60%. Adolescent and young adult suicides have skyrocketed to their highest levels in nearly 2 decades. Social media, peer pressures, cyber bullying, and drugs and alcohol are just a few of the issues plaguing teens. Officers and parents need to know the signs and symptoms of depression, how to proactively build teen resiliency, and to prevent potential suicide. Practical exercises and case examples from LAPD will be utilized.
