Description

This course is made up of three main sections as follows:Part 1:Depression definedTypes of depressionStress and causesHow stress and depression are linkedStrategies to reduce long-term depressionPart 2:100 tips on reducing stress (comes with a manual)Part 3100 tips on reducing depression (comes with a manual)If stress is reduced then this is likely to have a positive effect on reducing depression - and vice versa. The course includes 200+ things to try over two ten-day periods as well as suggestions for strategies to reduce LONG-TERM depression.This is very much a course of :a. giving you the tools with which to reduce stress/depressionb. asking for feedback and discussionc. sharing more toolsd. monitoring progressSome of the tips were trial-run on several thousand students and the conclusion was that rather than emphasise certain tips, to provide a manual for people to choose - and an encouragement to try, try and try them out. The Q/A is a valuable forum form discussion of 'what works at this particular time' for Person X - and to add suggestions from Person Y.With the long-term strategies clear suggestions are made but, by the very nature of being long-term, results will not be immediate.There is also a section on the news, using events recorded in mid-December 2023. So this is a highly interactive course with many many ideas and is right up to date!
