Meeting to focus on warning signs of teen depression

Reaching Everyone Preventing Suicide, a Yampa Valley agency, originally scheduled a public discussion titled “Recognizing Teenage Depression" for early March to highlight an upcoming training seminar on suicide prevention.

A teenage suicide in Routt County last month pressed that timetable, said Lisa Foley, REPS suicide prevention co­­­ordinator. Parents were concerned symp­toms of depression may be slipping by them, she said.

The meeting, which is free and open to the public, will take place in Conference Room No.
