The Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide Presents - Counseling for Depression & Suicidal Feelings
About 250 students, teachers, social workers and administrators from 28 high schools throughout Nassau County focused on issues such as mental health toolkit, building self-esteem and positive coping skills during Long Island's first Youth Wellness Summit on Tuesday.
The daylong event in Merrick was organized by 20-year-old Adelphi University student Stacy Brief of Bellmore, a Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide (https://sptsusa.org) volunteer who struggled with emotional issues and thoughts of suicide when she was a teen. She has volunteered with the organization for more than five years
