Accessed on 23 June 2019. This source is government issued, an online website that

discusses mental health, with this specific article being about kids suffering from mental

health. I believe it is aimed towards parents and teachers, to try and provide them with the

tools necessary to help these struggling kids. The article lists signs for adults to notice in

kids and teens, for example strange, moody, or violent behavior is always a red flag. It

also provides many resources, support groups, and hotlines that are available to anyone

who needs them. Since this is a government approved website with .gov in the url all of

the facts are definitely reliable and approved. In my final paper, I believe this could be

useful in showing all the ways that people can help, however I am unsure if it will be

relevant enough to use this source as all of the information in it can be found in my other

sources.

This is a study done by 6 licensed psychologists trying to understand the correlation

between the rise in teens struggling with mental health but no rise in getting them

treatment. They studied and taught two separate high school groups different things about

mental health, at the end they quizzed them and discovered that kids who were taught

about the right ways to help their friends or other kids their age resulted in happier and

healthier teens because they know how to help each other and deal with the hard stuff.

This was an Australian study, but the psychologists seems to really know their stuff and

how the kids are affected by this stuff. In a final paper, using this study would show,

firsthand that this is a problem and more people, adults and children alike, need to be

taught how to help the struggling kids.

Accessed on 23 June 2019. Books are always more reliable, because you know they have

been through publishers and editors to make sure every detail is right. The insight this

book provides into the effects of struggling with mental health as a child can have in your

adult life. Problems with focus, connection, feelings, relationships, drugs or even alcohol
 can be the result of mental health problems as a child, stopping things before they get too

far, early intervention, and even just supporting each and every person who goes through

this stuff is so important. This book provides so many statistics and facts that could be

used as evidence, in my final paper.

Accessed on 23 June 20​.​ Another book, that was very reliable and helpful. It showed

some of the great techniques you can use to break through to kids and shed some light as

to why kids developing brains need their parents, friends, and even teachers support

during tough times like these.

www.kidcentraltn.com/health/mental-emotional-health/it-s-ok-to-talk-about-youth-menta

l-health--video-feature.html​. Accessed on 23 June 2019. A video source, while this is

very short, it includes kids who deal with mental health issues themselves. It shows a raw

emotional side to this research. About four teens and young adults, talk about how their

experiences fighting to stay alive and how people helped, but also ways people could

have done better. The video seems very oriented to kids, to try and let them know that

they are not alone and there are people who can help and ways to get better. It is very

inspiring and quotes from it could be used as pathos in my final paper.

“School-Based Mental Health Services.” ​National Association of School Psychologists (NASP)​,

www.nasponline.org/resources-and-publications/resources-and-podcasts/mental-health/sc

hool-psychology-and-mental-health/school-based-mental-health-services​. Accessed on 23

June 2019. Organized under bold sentences, each section discussed a different topic

relating to the help schools offer kids struggling with mental health issues. It discusses

the importance of school, because of how much time kids spend there and how much they

are affected by what happens during their time there. It stresses the importance that

schools use the resources and time they have with students to help them, with ⅔ of teens

who do get help, getting help from schools the numbers are heading in the right direction.

While this website claims to be about helping kids, it is not approved and shows little

reliability, much more research would have to be done to see if all the facts in the article

are correct. If proven to be true, some of the statements made could be very beneficial to

arguing the point that while schools try they need to find ways to do more.

Teens at Risk for Suicidal Behavior Despite Mental Health Help. ​Performance by ​PBS

NewsHour correspondent Gwen Ifill, Dr. Timothy Lineberry of the Mayo Clinic, and

Drexel University psychologist, Brian Daly. NewsHour Productions LLC, January 09,

2013. ​Sinclair Database​,

https://fod-infobase-com.sinclair.ohionet.org/p_ViewVideo.aspx?xtid=58048​ Accessed

on 21 June 2019. In this video/interview style, interviewer Gwen Ifill, questions her

guests, Dr. Timothy Lineberry and Brian Daly, a university psychologist, about the

youth’s struggles in mental health problems and why, despite efforts it seems to stay that
way. It shows the shocking truth that most teens who attempt or commit suicide have

already been through some form of treatment. It begs the question what is wrong with the

current treatment, so that it is not effectively working and teens seem to find themselves

with no help or way out. The two guests bring up very interesting points and show that

they really know what they are talking about, proving their credibility, not just with the

fact that both of them have degrees in the field. I think this source is full of great

information and bits from the doctor can show a real level of understanding and urgency

in my paper.
