What is depression?
What is depression?
Most people feel down from time to time. And that sadness usually has a cause and eventually passes.
Depression is different. Depression is a persistent low mood that affects your everyday life. It can last for weeks or even months. It’s not something you can easily overcome.
Milder depression may involve low mood and lack of self-esteem. Severe depression can involve feelings of helplessness, hopelessness or even thoughts of suicide.

What people think of our services

Here are just a few of the people who have completed our 10-Step Programme and been kind enough to tell us what they think…
You have helped me so much, Teri. I was in a real low place, doing far too much, and you have shown me that there are other things I can do that I am allowed to be happy doing. I feel like l have a new lease of life.
You will never realise how much Walk Talk Action has helped me. So for that itself, I’m grateful.
So I just need to tell you how the group has been helping me by giving me something to look forward to each week.
The exercise and the company are just what I need, and being with others who have an idea of what you’re going through (though everyone has different experiences) makes it a safe place to be.
Since finishing the 10-Step Programme, I am constantly working on my job and life now, trying to stay on the right side of the road. Thanks for helping me get through the rough time I went through.
I will never forget what you did for me. You helped my mental health 100%. Keep up the good work.
Over the course of the 10 weeks, I met new friends, experienced things I wouldn’t have tried before and started walking again for the first time in years. More importantly, Teri linked me with with people who could help and support me.
I appreciate all the help she has given me. I no longer feel isolated.
