Your child participated, with your permission, in a research study on stress and <strong>depression</strong> in<br />

teens. On reviewing their results, we noted that there was higher than average level <strong>of</strong> distress<br />

and potential for <strong>depression</strong> in your child. Your child has been referred to the school counsellor<br />

for further follow up. We have recommended your child to book in with the school counsellor.<br />

We encourage you to discuss the situation directly with your child and/or school counsellor. You<br />

can also check in with your family <strong>do</strong>ctor or contact the local Mental Health Team for assistance.<br />

We are also enclosing a resource pamphlet with some local resources.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Czesia Fuks Geddes<br />
