Presenter: Craig O’Hare: Certified Peer Support Worker, The Life Link Boardmember


Hi, I’m Craig! I’m a 25 survivor of periodic bouts of depression. When it comes to dealing with depression, I don’t claim to have all the answers. But I think, over the years, I’ve developed a significant amount of understanding of depression and how best to deal with it. In the webinar, I will present what I have found helpful and effective in dealing with depression for those who struggle with it and those whose loved ones are or may be dealing with this mental illness.


Since May is “Mental Health Awareness Week” I will emphasize that the concepts and tips I offer may be help everyone, not just those that deal with depression, maintain positive mental health – especially important during these challenging times coping with COVID-19, in one form or another, in our lives.


If you’re unable to attend the webinar or you’d just like a little “heads up” about what I’m going to cover, please check out my “A Survivor’s Guide to Depression: Preventing, Coping, and Recovering” at this link:


Thanks, and I hope to “see” you on Wednesday the 27th! Craig

Craig's point about peer support really resonates, especially how sharing lived experience can make depression feel less isolating. I've been looking for practical coping strategies that fit into daily life during the pandemic. https://aibestfinder.com

Craig, as someone who's also battled depression especially during the isolating COVID days, I really appreciate your practical, experience-based approach rather than clinical theory. I'd love to try the coping strategies you mentioned — I've been looking for something like https://spheroz.com
