If your student is struggling with teenage depression, they are not alone, and help is available. Holden has been educating teens since 1969 on the premise that the best way to heal young people is in a small, caring environment where each student is known and valued. Holden provides a student-centered educational experience that embraces diversity and nurtures students’ unique gifts and talents.
Weekly 1-on-1 counseling sessions are embedded into our school days. Students receive emotional support, help navigating personal relationships, and tools to create changes through conscious decision-making in their lives. A young person struggling with teenage depression finds this time helpful.
Holden families benefit from meetings with a family counselor and their student’s Resource Exploration and Support Counselor. These meetings aid in mediating conflicts and improving interactions between family members. Tuition includes eight sessions per year.
Holden has 100+ collective staff years of experience working with students who have experienced anxiety and teenage depression.
We coordinate with outside support (therapists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists).
Holden strongly emphasizes personal growth and community, with many elective self-exploration groups and classes.
Holden’s curriculum incorporates the five tenets of Social Emotional Learning: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship building, and responsible decision making.
Holden graduates leave with a concrete post-high school plan.
When a teenager struggles with depression, it can cause a variety of challenges for young people and their families. Holden educates young people in a small, caring environment where everyone is known and deeply valued. Holden specializes in treating generalized depression and social anxiety in teens.
