InterviewsInterviews Benjamin Garber - Psychiatrist for a private practice
“Sometimes I like to use the school social worker to help my patient deal specifically with school related issues since they appreciate the school environment better than I can. Most social workers that I have had contact with will be helpful as long as they focus on what needs to be addressed.”
Dr. Jasmin Ashakih - Psychiatrist, Univ. of Michigan
“A proposed law is currently in Congress (as of 2/2011) that would call for an extension of the existing child with disabilities act (from 1975). This would enhance services so that more resources can be provided in schools before students have major problems that affect the rest of their lives.”

Data AnalysisData Analysis
Results based on a survey of Edgewood teachers and parents.
This is Kelsey. She was diagnosed with clinicaldepression in high school when she nearly tookher own life due to her untreated depression. She shared her story with us about how essentialit is to educate others about depression.
InterviewsWe also interviewed Dr.
Debra Pacchiano, from the Ounce of Prevention Fund.
She said, “We need government involved. It can’t just be doctors and family, there has to be
education.”
We also interviewed Dr. Mark Goldstein, a licensed
psychologist who has his own center. When we asked him if he
thinks that the GCN teacher tutorial on suicide prevention would be beneficial, he said, “This is a great idea; teachers
often don’t know what to do in this situation.”
