Families for Depression Awareness is a nonprofit organization providing educational information and a community to help families, especially family caregivers, recognize and cope with depression in the family. Those who have depression are suffering, are not in a position to help themselves, and need the help of the family members. However, family caregivers are usually operating with little or no knowledge and support. We offer the Helping Someone who is Depressed pamphlet; Family Profiles (interviews with photographs of families with depression) showing how depression impacts relationships and how families cope; depression seminars, and our educational web site, www.familyaware.org ,with extensive resources.
