| If you are seeing a psychotherapist or taking medications for depression, you will usually need to do those for a minimum of a few months to get a lasting benefit. Likewise, to get the greatest help from a peer-support group, you should plan on committing to a few months of weekly meetings. This will give you the opportunity to get ideas from your group's sharing time and to also help others. Helping others will give you a good feeling and reinforce some of the activities that you have been doing to help yourself. |

During a depressive episode, we tend to isolate ourselves, spend a lot of time ruminating and become inactive. It is very helpful to be with to share support and advice from others who understand. We can do this by participating in an online group meeting. It is a simple, small step we can take to started on the road to recovery.
Our online groups are based on three fundamental and well-researched facts to help you get better and stay better:
1. Education
| |
Each of our Depression Recovery Group meetings includes a brief self-help education segment. |
2. Confidential Discussions
| |
Our meetings have no more than 12 participants and everyone has an opportunity to talk, ask questions or just listen. Your Group Leader will make sure you get the help you need to supplement your work with a licensed healthcare practitioner. |
3. Research
| |
We are constantly scouring the latest research about effective treatments for depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety to bring you information that will help you to achieve a sustained recovery. |
