Practical Intervention Strategies

Depression is one of the most commonly experienced mental health concerns. The symptoms can become overwhelming, self-perpetuating, and lead to feelings of helplessness. While depression is common, each person’s individual experience and path to recovery will also be unique. Therefore, it is important that helpers have a variety of tools and strategies to support people. This workshop explores a holistic, strengths-based approach to understanding the experience of depression, influencing factors, and the recovery process. Participants will learn practical skills for building motivation and setting realistic goals for supporting those living with depression.
