This webinar blends personal stories and professional insights to explore how people survive and grow through depression. It offers practical coping skills, validation, and hope — whether you're in the midst of a struggle or supporting someone else.

Anyone who is living with depression, has lived through it, or is supporting a loved one with depression is encouraged to attend. The event is open to all backgrounds, and we especially welcome people from underrepresented communities.
