Last month, we discussed why boys disproportionately struggle academically. Now, we’re shifting focus to a crisis that disproportionately affects girls. Teenage girls are twice as likely to suffer from depression as boys, with the gap continuing to widen.

The CDC reports that 6-in-10 experienced persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness. And studies have shown that antidepressant prescriptions for girls have increased by 129.6% between 2020 - 2022.

Our goal with this webinar is not to focus on the stats but to put forward actionable advice you can begin to implement immediately.  Join us on October 29 at 5:30 pm ET
