Families for Depression Awareness is a national nonprofit organization that helps families and friends recognize and cope with depression and bipolar disorder to get people well and prevent suicides. The organization provides education, outreach, and advocacy to support families. Families for Depression Awareness is made up of families affected by depression or bipolar disorder or who have lost a loved one to suicide.
Families for Depression Awareness offers education and resources on teen depression and adult depression and bipolar disorder.

Our webinars provide guidance and actionable advice for caregivers so they can take care of others - and themselves.
