About Us
Kwinana Alliance Against Depression is leading the local implementation of the European Alliance Against Depression (EAAD) framework. The EAAD is an approach based on evaluated trials and is recognised as the worlds best practice for the care of people with depression and in the prevention of suicide. It is being adapted to meet the needs of the Kwinana community.
Our goal is to have a community that knows what support is available for anyone experiencing depression and/or suicidal behaviour and has easy seamless access to this support. The support is continually improving and the community and services work together to provide this support.
Alliance Against Depression requires a broad range of diverse stakeholders to succeed so If you would like to get involved in Kwinana AAD please get in touch today - [email protected].
