DEPRESSION has a devastating effect not just on the people suffering from it, but also on their families friends and work colleagues. The cost to the NHS and to industry of inadequate treatment is enormous. But effective treatments do exist and most can be delivered by non-specialists.

· Evidence-based tools to help your patients/ clients in everyday practice.
WHO WILL BENEFIT?
Nurses, Doctors, Health visitors, Occupational health staff, Counsellors and other health and social care professionals who do not already have specialist training in depression. This practical programme is designed for anyone working in a health or social care role in the community who wants to know more about how to help people with depressive illnesses. Not suitable for Mental Health specialists.
WHAT IF I DO NOT FIT INTO THESE CATEGORIES?
