Description
This course is made up of three main sections as follows:
Part 1:
- Depression defined
- Types of depression
- Stress and causes
- How stress and depression are linked
- Strategies to reduce long-term depression
Part 2:
- 100 tips on reducing stress (comes with a manual)
Part 3
- 100 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/depression
b. asking for feedback and discussion
c. sharing more tools
d. monitoring progress
Some 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!
