I did my service learning project on teen depression. It is a cause that I care a lot about, and have witnessed its effects on both my peers and myself.
My idea was to create an awareness website to help people recognize how severe of a problem it really is, know the signs, and know where to go. My long-term plan was to provide a place to go. I wanted to create a place for students at Parkview to go to seek help. I know personally that it is hard to ask for help when you're having trouble, so I wanted to create a community that one could feel comfortable with seeking help in.
Unfortunately we did not have enough time to carry out our projects, but I will definitely carry this idea with me into the future. As of right now my plan is to get a degree in psychology, so this will still be very relevant for the career I will pursue.
