We all certainly experience times of sadness or grief throughout the course of our lives. If we occasionally have a “blue” day or feel down in the dumps, that is normal. But when the down feelings last a long time and are more severe than just feeling blue, then we need to find out the underlying cause and get help. This workshop will discuss the differences between the everyday blues and depression, tips to help bounce back from occasional blues, and how to help others through these times.
