Right now, we work primarily with health care providers to give them knowledge translation tools and some of the best evidence about the information we have in terms of assessment, treatment, prevention, and management. We work with the health care providers who we hope then change their practices.
We've also done some work directly with older adults by creating some user-friendly brochures educating people about what depression is and what other common mental illnesses are, to try to take away some of the stigma so that people feel comfortable going in to see their family physicians, identifying some of the symptoms they may have, and asking for help.
