Depri-Helden e.V.

Depri-Helden is a self-help organization dedicated to supporting people with depression and similar mental health conditions, as well as their families. In May 2026, the organization reached the 200-member milestone. We are currently active in four municipalities across two different counties. We also participate in public events to combat stigma and advocate for a society that is open to mental health issues. In addition to traditional self-help programs for adults, we also organize guided groups for children and adolescents, thereby doing important work in the area of suicide prevention.
