depression prevention programs

Depression prevention programs are structured efforts designed to reduce the risk of developing depression by promoting mental well-being, resilience, and healthy coping skills. These programs often include education about mental health, stress management techniques, social support enhancement, and early identification of symptoms. They can be implemented in schools, workplaces, or community settings, aiming to create supportive environments and equip individuals with tools to handle life's challenges. The goal is to decrease the likelihood of depression onset and improve overall mental health for individuals and communities.
