Join Depression Support Group
Our support group for depression sessions offer sufferers and carers the opportunity to discuss their depression and help them learn how to deal with their fears, knowing they are not alone. Through group discussion we focus on the symptoms of depression and how to manage them to promote better mental health. The caring and sharing of the group offers relief from isolation and loneliness. We encourage family members and friends to attend the sessions in order to gain enough awareness about the illness and how to support their loved ones.
