Hope in Depression courses are delivered by our network of course partners, all of whom are trained, and all of whom offer a safe and confidential environment. Running over six weeks, each two-hour session explores how you can play a part in your own recovery – whether that is through medication, nutrition, or simply education about your brain chemistry when depressed.

Sometimes, understanding that depression is a physical illness can be the start of your journey to recovery.

To ensure everything that is discussed is done so with the most up-to-date research and guidance, we have expert speakers for each week to guide discussions.

As a response to COVID-19 our courses are now running online, as well as in-person. Our online courses are held on Zoom, so anyone from anywhere can join any course. The Course leader will send you tips on how to use zoom in case you are not familiar with it. The session will start with information about how the session is going to run.

Part 1 of the session will start with a speaker film, followed by a group question discussed first in smaller breakout rooms and then as a whole group. 

There will be a short break at the halfway point, returning for part 2 of the session, starting with a film and followed by another group discussion question. There is no pressure to speak, but it helps your experience if you do.

Each session finishes with information about the following week's topic.

The weekly topics are listed below, for anyone who would like to know a little more about what the course involves before attending.

All delegates and volunteers are bound by the confidentiality agreement they agree to when signing up for a course.  This creates an environment that is safe and completely confidential.
