Who We Are

Care for Your Mind is brought to you by Families for Depression Awareness, the leading national nonprofit organization providing training, advocacy, and programs for family caregivers of people living with depression or bipolar disorder.

Families for Depression Awareness helps families recognize and cope with depression and bipolar disorder to get people well and prevent suicides, including

  • giving families tools and solutions to recognize and manage depression and bipolar disorder
  • advocating to eliminate the stigma associated with mood disorders
  • working to unite families and help them heal in coping with mood disorders.

The Families for Depression Awareness website offers educational resources, online tools such as a depression and bipolar disorder screening tool, and inspiring stories for those seeking help for themselves or another. You’ll find a wealth of information relating to teen depression and adult/workplace stress and depression, including materials about mood disorders, family stories, audio podcasts, and webinars.

FFDA’s programming and communications demonstrate that people from all walks of life are impacted by mood disorders, which are the most prevalent mental health conditions and are leading contributors to suicide.
