Creating A Healthier and More Equitable Society
LiveWell Foundation
Our Mission
The LiveWell Foundation's mission is to ensure that all people with depression have access to the support, education and prevention they need to live well.
In free, peer-led support groups, our skill-based behavioral health program empowers people to reduce their own symptoms and relapses of depression, and to live more meaningful, connected and productive lives.
Our Core Values
Equity
Because we're dedicated to mental health equity, our support services are FREE and easy to access.ā
Self-
Empowerment thru Education
Not all peer support is created equal. Our unique Guided Self-Care curriculum combines peer support with high-quality, psychoeducation.ā
Community & Connection
as "Medicine"
Research shows that peer-led education performs better than psychotherapy for the depression recovery process.ā
Commitment to Data & Evidence
Spearheaded by outside academics, we conduct an annual evaluation of all LiveWell programs to share with our constituents.
