Welcome to this E-Course series, Do It Yourself (DIY)Mental Health! In this Psycho-educational E-course you will learn about Depression for a Culturally Sensitive perspective! As an African-American mental health provider and advocate, I created these courses as a mental health resource for minority populations.

These courses can be seen as a supplemental way to overcome these barriers by providing access to relevant topics on mental health empowerment. At Skelton Neurocounseling, LLC we understand the stigma of mental health. We have created courses from a culturally sensitive perspective and shared research that is helpful for all.This course is loaded with helpful information that will help you better understand depression in your life and the life of others.
