Increase Access to Depression Support for a Wide & Diverse Population

Our online and community-based educational support groups - led by trained volunteer peers - are always free and open to the public: no insurance, referral or diagnosis required.

The LiveWell Program® model is a sustainable solution for widespread availability of  effective depression treatment and prevention 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

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 evidence-based practice of peer-led support and education to become a routine part of depression services.

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.

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.
