Words like ‘depression’ and ‘anxiety’ are often misused and mis-understood. Understanding and talking about mental health in general can be a minefield for many of us too. That’s where Black Dog Institute can help. Their presentation has been developed by experts to give you the knowledge to:
• Identify the features of clinical depression
• Understand the types of mental illness
• Recognize the symptoms of depression and anxiety
• Know when it’s time to get professional help
• Understand the range of treatment options available
• Spot and monitor the warning signs (in yourself and others)
Their free, 45 minute sessions are presented by community members with lived experience of mental illness. The presenters speak from the heart, sharing their personal story as well as with some expert knowledge.
