Peer Storyteller Program for Youth and Young adults
We are looking for youth and young adult speakers (14 to 25) who have experienced depression or bipolar disorder. Our speakers travel to schools, community organizations, and businesses around Massachusetts to share their personal stories to offer education and hope. These events are geared toward teens, students, and/or adults.
Volunteers gain public speaking experience, media training, community service, and peer-to-peer support.
Volunteers are integral to the success of our organization. You can help us by:

Mission Statement
Families for Depression Awareness helps families recognize and cope with depression and bipolar disorder to get people well and prevent suicides. We offer education, training, and support to unite families and help them heal while coping with mood disorders.
Description
Families for Depression Awareness continues to be the premier national organization specializing in practical education and action-based training for family caregivers whose loved ones are dealing with a mood disorder. Our mission is to help families recognize, address, and cope with depression and bipolar disorder to get people well and prevent suicides. Through nationwide webinars, online tools, publications, and in-person workshops in Massachusetts we provide up-to-date education, training, and support that specifically meet the needs of families. Our programs aid participants in recognizing depression in themselves and others and getting help so that no one suffers alone with untreated depression. In short, we help families get - and stay - on the path to mental wellness.
