This toolkit contains resources and strategies important for the "self-management" of depression. Self-management means having basic understanding about your illness and then being able to apply it in your own situation. It's about working with your mental health professional to find the treatment that works best for you and then sticking with it. It's also about developing strategies for dealing with depression and its impact on your day-to-day life.

This toolkit has been designed to be a good complement to the Mental Disorders Toolkit as well as the Self-Care Depression Guide developed by the Mental Health Evaluation and Community Consultation Unit at the University of British Columbia.
