Depression is one of the most commonly experienced mental health concerns. The symptoms can become overwhelming, self-perpetuating, and lead to feelings of helplessness. Helpers may feel unsure of where to begin when supporting those who frequently feel depleted, helpless, and ashamed of their struggles.

Depression - Practical Intervention Strategies, is a Crisis and Trauma Resource Institute workshop that explores a holistic understanding of the causes, impact, and treatment of depression. A strengths-based approach is explored that considers the whole person, separate from the problem. Workshop participants will learn practical skills for building motivation and setting realistic goals for supporting those living with depression.

This is an intermediate level workshop intended for social service and health care professionals, counsellors, social workers, school personnel, and anyone working with those who struggle with depression.

This 6-hour workshop is livestreamed via Zoom.

Registration deadline for the January 27, 2022 session is January 20, 2022.
