About this meeting
This series of meetings are designed to help you move on with life, even when you’re depressed. Each meeting is a mixture of a drop-in support group and a book club based on Julie A. Fast and Dr. John Preston’s book “Get It Done When You’re Depressed: 50 Strategies for Keeping Your Life on Track.” Each 90-minute meeting will cover one easy to digest, life changing strategy to help you learn how to be more productive in the face of depression’s many obstacles. Group Leaders will guide participants through a reading of the strategy, an exercise, and a brief discussion of the book’s key ideas. There is also time to discuss whatever is of interest to you at the time of the meeting.

Motivation for help
The last time I was hospitalized in a mental hospital, I was supported more by my peers than by the staff. Now, I want to give that support back to other peers.

Sam was an awesome Facilitator - he provided a lot of insight, was incredibly personable, and made sure the atmosphere remained positive throughout the hour. I can tell he has a lot of experience working with different populations and I can't wait for the next meeting. Thank you Sam, much appreciated - until next time!

I had a fantastic experience with corey. She was so supportive. Especially when nobody was. I was pretty neutral because I felt that the other people were very rude in the group..

Welcome to HeyPeers Certified Meetings!
HeyPeers Certified meetings are facilitated by Group Leaders who have lived experience with the topic of the meeting they are facilitating. They have completed training, passed exams and have met other requirements in their state to become cerified. Some of our CPSs are also nationally certified and most have other credentials as well. Most HeyPeers Certifed meetings are 90 minutes in length and include a discussion of helpful tips and techniques.
