In our last episode (Nick Watts Part 1) we had some fun and got to know Nick through our Rapid Fire podcast tradition. But in this one, we dive right into the topic at hand - depression.
Nick shares part of his story and gives us some really helpful insights into how we can recognize and help students and families who are struggling with depression.
This is always an important topic to discuss, but this last year has made it unbelievably important. Check out the episode and share it with your friends in youth ministry as well.
Below you will find some notes and resources that Nick referred to in our discussion that are very helpful for further study.
