Depression Support Coalition

More Education & Support

Depression Support Coalition

Major depression is a medical illness that now affects 15 million adults each year. Depression affects our thoughts, feelings, mood, behavior, and physical health. Although devastating at times, depression is highly treatable.

The mission of the Depression Support Coalition is to inform, educate, support, and cultivate a community of spiritual hope for those affected by depression — as well as their families.

All are welcome

All persons are welcome to attend, regardless of religious affiliation. For additional information or questions, please contact Julie Opheim at: 952-432-6351.

Monthly Educational Speakers

The Depression Support Coalition has developed a program of monthly informational talks by leading healthcare professionals and clergy educated and experienced about depression and related diseases.

Weekly Support Groups  

The program also offers weekly discussion & support group meetings at some Coalition church locations — designed to provide a network of Christian based support for those affected by depression, as well as their family members.
