With both the private and public health systems failing to meet the needs of millions of Americans, LiveWell is creating healthier and more resilient communities by putting free and easy-to-access, high-quality depression support services into the hands of people themselves.
Our Mission
The LiveWell Foundation provides free and effective depression support, education and prevention to anyone who wants it.
Utilizing social networks for individual behavioral change, our peer-led, research-based support groups teach people skills for reducing their own symptoms and relapses of depression, and for living more meaningful, connected and productive lives.
Our Core Values
ā
Equity
We believe all people deserve equal access to the depression support they need to live well. Our services are free, and no diagnosis, insurance or registration is required.ā
Self-
Empowerment thru Education
Not all peer support is created equal! Our unique Guided Self-Care curriculum combines peer support with high-quality, skill-based psychoeducation.ā
Community & Connection
as "Medicine"
Research shows that peer-led education performs better than individual therapy for the depression recovery process, and helps to reduce the loneliness that contributes to widespread depression. ā
Commitment
to Data & Evidence
Spearheaded by outside academics, we conduct an annual evaluation of all LiveWell programs to share with our constituents.
