Patient and Family Guides

Group of people in therapy

The Patient and Family Guides were created to provide individuals living with depression, including Bipolar and Postpartum depression, and their supporters with clear, compassionate, and empowering information that respects and validates their experiences.


These guides are more than a resource. They reflect the belief that individuals deserve choice, agency, and dignity in their care. The guides combine evidence, practitioner insight, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of those who have managed depression and developed personal strategies for coping, healing, and reclaiming hope.


At Hope and Me, we are proud of our role in shaping these guides. Our involvement shows that lived experience is essential in mental health work. It provides valuable knowledge, strengthens systems, fosters empathy, and highlights what truly matters.
