Depression Support Coalition
Major depression
is a medical illness that now affects 15 million adults each year.
Depression affects our thoughts, feelings, mood, behavior, and physical
health. Although devastating at times, depression is highly treatable.
The mission of the
Depression Support Coalition is to inform, educate, support, and
cultivate a community of spiritual hope for those affected by depression
— as well as their families.
All are welcome
All persons are
welcome to attend, regardless of religious affiliation.
