About


Lighting the Way is a workshop which provides information about depression through different experiential activities to increase awareness of the illness to improve the care/help provided for their friends/loved ones. Cognitive-behaviour model and the biopsychosocial model are used for providing fundamental understanding of how the illness requires a period of time and a plan of holistic care for recovery. General misconceptions are then used to elicit various responses from the participants about their experiences. A case study is then used to present the various common signs and symptoms of depression. Community resources to seek help are provided to the participants and opportunities for these individuals to provide encouragement to one another by sharing about their experiences of their journey to provide care and help to their loved ones in small groups marks the end of the workshop.
