You will receive a handbook to help you apply what you learn, and access to a comprehensive suite of online support resources.

Cost

There is a £10 registration fee and then all sessions and resources are free, thanks to the generous support of our funders. If you receive benefits please let us know and we can waive this fee. 

With Knock Out Depression you don't fight alone...

We are your cornerman, offering hope and a supportive community to help you to:

• Understand the opponent and how it affects you, recognising that depression is not a weakness, or a character flaw - or any other such rubbish - but an illness, and one that you can recover from

• Develop a fight plan using evidence-informed methods to fight back using the combination that works best for you.

We care because we've been there, and we don't want anybody to fight alone.
