Clinical Depression

  • Our counselors offered an educational presentation on the topic of clinical depression to the Celebrate Recovery leadership group at Hope Church in Columbia, Illinois.  This CR group had been interested in gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the difference between sadness and depressionhow addiction and depression co-occur, and ways to intervene when leaders observe members experiencing a specific constellation of symptoms.  There was a time for questions and case examples toward the end that allowed leaders to verbalize and validate their experiences as well as gather information about resources relevant to the care of their members.
  • Rachel Peterka and Darrell Provinse thank Grace Church for the opportunity to present a seminar on Depression.
  • Darrell Provinse‘s presentation at Hope Christian Church on “Dark Night of the Soul: Understanding, Identifying, and Treating Depression” went well.  Thank you, Hope Church, especially the Women’s Ministry, for the invitation to speak on such a relevant issue.
