*This night requires some extra preparation.  Before the night, make sure to educate the Core Members about the topic of depression.  It is also important to review the requirements of your diocese in dealing with middle school youth who may share issues about depression or more serious thoughts and/or actions.  If there are no policies in your diocese, it would be important to report issues that a middle school youth shares with the Edge leader.  If possible, have counselors on hand who are comfortable working with the middle school age group.

The middle school youth will take a deeper look into the serious topic of depression and how this is manifested in their lives.  The sessions will also help the middle school youth to seek Jesus Christ to help them, as well as their friends and family when they experience depression.
