For Clients
Clients suffering from depression often benefit from self-help. Just the act of researching for help and support and following through helps break the deadening, disempowering, helpless feeling of depression. A good place to start is the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): www.nami.org
Knowledge always helps, and you may also want to direct your clients to the National Institute of Mental Health website, which has information pitched to both professionals and to people (and their families) coping with depression: www.nimh.nih.gov
Clients can also find an extensive list of online support groups as well as support groups and other resources in their area at Dr. John Grohol’s Psychcentral: http://psychcentral.com/resources/Depression/Support_Groups/
