Combining Peer Support and Education/Self-Empowerment
A holistic psychosocial educational model designed to meet the needs of a diverse population
*To better serve our diverse community, we continue to create new research-based versions of the original skill-based, LiveWell curriculum for adults.
The LiveWell Program® is GUIDED SELF-CARE behavioral health curricula strategically designed to empower people with the skills they need to reduce their own symptoms and relapses of depression, and to live more resilient, connected, and productive lives, including:
ā
-
LiveWell Adults
-
LiveWell Recovery (depression & addiction)
-
LiveWell Teens
-
LiveWell Seniors
-
LiveWell Physicians*
ā
Because depression results from various factors and symptoms can affect every aspect of life, we know that treatment cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach. So we've combined aspects of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, wisdom gained from lived experience of diverse peers, and best practices of trauma-informed peer-led interventions into a one-of-a-kind holistic, psychosocial educational program.
LiveWell support groups are organized around the LiveWell Strategies. Personal change is effected through social support, challenging thinking patterns, guided discussion prompts, behavioral activation and modeling, stigmatization and shame reduction, positive reinforcement, and mental health advocacy.
