How has depression affected you and what supports do you need to thrive?

[Shelby_MHC]

Hello all! My name is Shelby. I'm a grad student pursuing a degree in Mental Health Counseling in New York State. As someone who is looking to enter the mental health field, as well as a family member of someone who has struggled with depression, I'm looking for feedback and insight.

Feel free to answer one or all of the following questions:

If you are depressed-

-How have your relationships affected your progress?

-What strategies have you found to be most helpful in managing your depression?

-What supports do you need from your community?

Let me know if any of these questions need clarification. Thank you for your help! Keep fighting the good fight
