LiveWell Foundation
About Us
Our Vision
We believe all people deserve equal access to the support they need to live well with depression.
Our Mission
We empower people with depression to transform their own lives
through free and effective peer support and skill-based education.
Dedicated to mental health equity,
our peer-led, community-based behavioral health organization aims to:

Increase Access to Depression Support for a Wide & Diverse Population
Our online and local skill-based support groups - led by trained volunteer peers from diverse backgrounds and professions with their own lived experience of depression and resilience - are always free and open to the public: no insurance, referral, diagnosis or registration required.
The LiveWell community is dedicated to providing easy access to quality mental health support for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Foster Healthy Lives Through Education & Self-Empowerment
The LiveWell Program® is a Guided Self-Care behavioral health curriculum that integrates aspects of evidence- based therapies and wellness strategies with the wisdom of people with lived experience of depression and resilience.
It is strategically designed to teach people the skills they need to reduce their own symptoms and relapses of depression, and to improve wellbeing.

Advance Clinical & Cultural Change for Depression Treatment
Empowering peers to teach others the skills they need to live well, our communal approach to prevention, treatment, and recovery services helps to create a more equitable society.
Although peer support is proven to be more effective than psychotherapy for the depression recovery process, treatment still primarily focuses on a single-person approach. We advocate for the practice of peer-led support and education to become a routine part of depression services.

Challenge the Stigma of Depression
Mental health stigma still prevents millions of people from getting the support they need; and untreated depress-ion (and its common co-ocurring mental health issues) is devastating individuals, families, and our communities.
We fight stigma by stimulating public dialogue about depression and its related issues, and by creating opportunities for people with depression to share their unique stories of resilience and living well.
Our Current Programs
LiveWell for Adults, LiveWell Recovery (for adults with co-occurring depression and substance use), LiveWell Teens, LiveWell Seniors, and LiveWell Physicians. (LiveWell Español is in development!)


Depression is the most common mental health issue in the U.S, and is associated with greater functional impairment and higher societal costs than any other chronic health problem. Although depression is treatable, more than 70% of people affected by it cannot access or afford the support they desperately want and need.
We're on a mission to change that!

"The LiveWell Foundation's work is having a huge impact on the treatment of chronic depression."
