A New Resource for Teens

SchoolBlues.com was recently launched by founder Bill Keefe to provide mental health information tailored to high school students. This arose from the overwhelming success of CampusBlues.com, which provides mental/physical health education and outreach to college students at more than more than 300 colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada.

SchoolBlues is a free program. In November, students from registered high schools can go to the website, select their schools, and click on a link to find the name of a local counselor. They will be able to find community-based resources as well. The website currently offers articles on issues such as depression, gambling, stress, addiction, anxiety, anger, violence, eating disorders, acne, and listening skills. It also provides information and guidance for parents who want better understanding of and communication with their teenager.
