Teen depression speaker available
Not only am I a writer but a speaker on the topics of teen depression, drug abuse, suicide prevention and postvention. I’ve updated my speaker sheet so take a peek and see if it’s appealing. Contact me if you’d like to learn more about the save the teens presentation.
I enjoy sharing my story, sad as it is, and if it helps at least one parent stop and take notice of their teen, then I’ve done what I set out to do – save more teens.
I keep up to date on current drugs of choice, teen behavior, and suicide prevention by reading email notices from various organizations as well as local news. It’s hard for parents of children to keep up with all these topics. I remember my own hectic life while my son was alive and it took all I had to get myself to work, him to do his homework and still be a wife who cooked dinner. So there was no time to read reports on depressed teens.
I wish more parents would come and hear what I have to say but so many have the “my-kid-doesn’t-do-that” blinders on so they stay comfortably at home. I feel many are finding me via the save-the-teens website which is excellent. I have many of the signs of depression listed there and I’m available if they want to ask me questions (many do!).
If you know of an organization that could use my message to save some teens, please contact me (cczahnow@yahoo.com).
Don’t forget to look over my speaker sheet, print one out and share it with someone. Visit save-the-teens.com to learn more about teen depression.
Thanks for visiting!

This is a wonderful site – glad I have found it! When you have a moment, do look at my depression posts on my Springsteen blog at http://www.marilebetterdays.wordpress.com – and why I see a link between the two subjects!
Regards – keep up the good work!
