More Than Sad is a comprehensive mental illness and suicide prevention resource that addresses the issue of teen depression, teen suicide, and helping a friend in need. This resource includes a 25-minute video showcasing multiple students who are in a mental health crisis along with teacher and student supplemental lesson materials. Students will also be introduced to the idea that a teen can feel "more than sad" and when to seek help if they think they are in fact dealing with a mental illness. This resource clearly articulates the difference between "normal" mental health thoughts and feelings and "not-so-normal" thoughts and feelings.
This resource can be co-taught with a school counselor or other mental health professional. There are resources for parents, teachers, and students. The resource also provides many external supports and resources for more information related to mental health, mental illness, and suicide.
