LiveWell Foundation
The peer-led mental health movement that's making a difference
Our Mission
The LiveWell Foundation’s mission is to create a healthier and more equitable society by putting free and effective depression support, education and prevention into the hands of people themselves.
Our Core Values
Equity
We believe all people with depression deserve equal access to the mental health support they need to live well. All of our groups are free and easy to access.ā
Self-
Empowerment thru Education
Not all peer support is created equal. Our unique Guided Self-Care curriculum combines peer support with high-quality, psychoeducation.ā
Community & Connection
as "Medicine"
Research shows that peer-led education performs better than psychotherapy for the depression recovery process.ā
Commitment to Data & Evidence
Spearheaded by outside academics, we conduct an annual evaluation of all LiveWell programs to share with our constituents.
