The WORKBOOK to DEPRESSION CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN OF HOPE. These two books gives a practical road map to healing; climbing the mountain of hope. You will find opportunities to make fundamental positive changes. This decision is yours. Where do you want to be in five weeks, months, years? Will you invest effort in your healing? And, the new life your sorely desire? Get prepared to see new information. This is not a "pull yourself up by your boot straps." How cruel! We would not tell a person with diabetes or a broken hip to "get over it." We would not think of telling someone having a heart attack to "suck it up.

" Be proactive, before sinking in the quick sand of depression. Learn from the experts I have cited. Facts are our friends. Information is power.The workbook and book are appropriate for concerned family and friends, everyone in the helping professions; teacher, law enforcement, EMS, nurses, caregivers, and pastors. The book is a solid reference for all clinicians. The book is written in plain English, not psychobabble or medicalize.
