Depression is fast becoming an epidemic with too many people world-wide suffering from its crippling affects. Whether you are personally experiencing depression or supporting someone who is, we recognize that depression can be a complex and overwhelming experience. Through a wide range of resources, including personal stories, self-care strategies, and spiritual insights, our goal is to be a compassionate and supportive resource as you navigate the challenges of living with depression. We encourage you to reach out, seek help, and lean on your faith. Most of all we pray that you remember this truth—that with Jesus, there is light and hope even in the darkest of times.
