Light of Christ guest speaker offers advice helping depressed teens
A Light of Christ Catholic School Division guest speaker gave parents and people working with youth some insights into helping teens with mental health issues when he visited North Battleford.
Counsellor Roy Petitfils spoke to about 35 people at the Helping Hurting Teens event at the Light of Christ Learning Centre Thursday evening.
Over the past six months, there have been several suicides involving young people in the Battlefords that have impacted the community, which the Louisiana-based author alluded to in his presentation.
“They have undergone a lot of trauma, a lot of serious trauma in this area,” Petitfils said following the event.
