Where can I find Support?
Talking to friends and family can often provide a source of comfort and support if you are struggling with your depression or treatment. However, if you feel like you need some extra support, the organisation below may be able to help:
AWARE
Aware is the national organisation providing support, education and information services to people impacted by depression, bipolar disorder and mood related conditions. Founded in 1985 the organisation developed in response to the clear need for information, understanding and support, both for individuals with a diagnosis of depression or bipolar disorder as well as family members supporting a loved one.
Aware Support Services include nationwide Support & Self Care Groups and a Support Line and Support Mail service, both of which operate 365 days a year, in virtual and in-person environments. Aware also delivers a range of positive mental health programmes to adults and senior cycle students nationwide, designed to build resilience and empower people with the skills and tools to manage their mental health. All Aware services are now available in-person and in virtual environments.

Aware offers a free evidence based programme based on the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which can be helpful in managing the symptoms of mild to moderate depression. The Life Skills Programme is available in virtual and group settings. More information on the programme and details on how to register is available on the Aware website. Aware also runs a free monthly webinar series featuring expert speakers on a range of topics relating to mental health. An archive of webinars and lectures are available to listen back, or to view, on the website.
Please note that Aware does not offer specific advice in relation to this medicine, but the additional support that is available through the organisation’s services may provide further help to you as you manage your experience of depression.
You can also speak to your doctor or nurse for information on local support groups that may be available within your area.
