“Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”
 “Why do things I used to enjoy feel… flat?”
 “I’m tired all the time, but I can’t sleep. What’s wrong with me?”

If you've ever asked yourself these questions—or know someone who has—join us for the first session of What Is Mental Health?, a free weekly group that explores real-life experiences and tools for emotional wellbeing.

This week's topic is Depression, and together we’ll break it down in a way that’s personal, practical, and empowering.

What you can expect:

•A clear look at what depression is and how it shows up in both the mind and body

•A breakdown of symptoms, from emotional and cognitive changes to physical issues such as fatigue, sleep issues, and physical burnout

•A series of interactive activities to explore your experience of depression, and learn strategies and skills to manage its effects


We hope that you’ll leave with greater understanding of depression, awareness of its impact on your life, practical tools to implement day to day, and a sense of connection and relief that you’re not alone.
