Help! My Teen is Depressed
A mini-book that encourages parents as they care for their despondent teen.
On Amazon
This important resource offers practical biblical wisdom with heartfelt compassion for parents who are walking through severe depression with their teens. The summary of counsel in the conclusion is well worth the price of the book.

Help! My Teen Is Depressed is a gift to any parent or authority figure navigating the difficult and disorienting road of depression with their teen. Rather than offering simplistic or cliche answers to a complex issues, Christine Chappell offers biblical and practical wisdom with the compassion and understanding of one who has walked this hard road and found the grace of God to be sufficient.

Reading Help! My Teen is Depressed, reminded me of my teens, where I experienced a nose dive into depression. Whether you have a teen facing depression or you are struggling with depression yourself, Christine provides hope and help rooted in Scripture, the local church, and is chock-full of gospel encouragement. Please get yourself a copy and then get a box to hand out to parents of teens in your local church.

I am grateful to see Help! My Teen is Depressed available to help parents ground themselves in biblical truth and gospel hope, which is what they and their child need more than anything. Christine Chappell compassionately shares her own family's struggles while still addressing the hard questions. I will most certainly be using this resource as a companion in my counseling.

As a Pastor who struggles with depression myself, I found this booklet to contain many helpful steps to take, but most of all I felt encouraged that God cares for people who struggle with depression. This is the sort of hope and love that we need to give to our teens as we enter into their emotional distress. In this booklet, Christine gives us the tools to love our teens well as they struggle with depression.

Parenting teenagers can be difficult at times. It's especially challenging when your teen is struggling with depression. In Help! My Teen is Depressed, Christine Chappell provides invaluable hope and a helpful roadmap for parents and teens who feel lost and helpless when navigating the rugged terrain of teenage depression.
