Cooking workshops for people suffering from depression and their relatives

Model organizacyjny

Lack of appropriate psychoeducation in the context of depression; inability of the families and friends to support people in a mental crisis; isolation and health deterioration among people suffering from depression.

Cooking workshops for persons in depression and their relatives consist in creating a manual on supporting people with depression through cooking together. Cooking workshops are organised for people suffering from this condition and their relatives. An important element of the innovation is the website offering educational materials on mental health and suggestions of easy-to-make recipes one can try at home. The innovation uses two channels of supporting people with depression: psychoeducation and shared activity.

Persons with depression; relatives of persons with depression.

Cooks; psychologists; sexologists; mental health clinics.

Website;manual;workshop scripts.

Cooking workshops for people in depression and their relatives became a means for reaching the intended goals. Through the participation in workshops, the participants had an opportunity to develop their communication skills and building emotional bonds. Additionall, through the website, the innovation provided educational materials elevating the social awareness on depression.
