Giving Voice to Depression

“Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects.” ~ Dalai Lama Giving Voice to Depression will release Ripple Reports when we learn of ways listeners have taken the information and understanding gained from hearing the stories shared, and act on them to reduce stigma and make a difference.
