“Realistic, practical, and full of the love of Jesus for parents with teens who struggle with depression are all ways I would describe this booklet by Christine Chappell. As a Pastor who struggles with depression myself, I found this booklet to contain many helpful steps to take, but most of all I felt encouraged that God cares for people who struggle with depression. This is the sort of hope and love that we need to give to our teens as we enter into their emotional distress. In this booklet, Christine gives us tools to love our teens well as they struggle with depression.”

“There are uncountable burdens and joys in parenting, and shepherding a child through depression is a heavy weight indeed. With so many voices in our world trying to speak to this condition, parents trying to love and help their child through this trial can be overcome by confusion and even desperation. I am grateful to see Help! My Teen is Depressed available to help parents ground themselves in biblical truth and gospel hope, which is what they and their child need more than anything. Christine Chappell compassionately shares her own family’s struggles while still addressing the hard questions. I will most certainly be using this resource as a companion in my counseling.”

“Reading Help! My Teen is Depressed, reminded me of my teens, where I experienced a nose dive into depression. Whether you have a teen facing depression or you are struggling with depression yourself, Christine provides hope and help rooted in Scripture, the local church, and is chock-full of gospel encouragement. Please get yourself a copy and then get a box to hand out to parents of teens in your local church.”
