Managing Depression series in Slovenian
An earlier version of these info sheets are available in Slovenian. The translation was done by and for a mental health agency concerned with depression and anxiety in Slovenia called DAM Society. The BC Partners have given permission for the modules to be translated, but we did not oversee nor fund the translation. The info sheets were reviewed by a bilingual mental health professional in Slovenia and minor adaptations were approved by the BC Partners.
