What You'll Learn

Depression and anxiety are mental health issues that disproportionately affect urban, ethnically diverse, impoverished women--particularly when access to culturally sensitive care is limited. Through extensive research and years of practice, we've developed an evidence-based supportive/educative group invention, called Women Supporting Women (WSW), that reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression by empowering women to engage in mental health self-care.

Women Supporting Women is a community-driven, prevention focused solution whose leadership team consists of RNs and lay persons (either community health workers or mental health ambassadors) working collaboratively to serve women.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Describe the origin of WSW

  • Explain the intent, essential aspects, and structure of WSW

  • Outline the content in all sessions of WSW

  • Apply the above information to collaboratively lead your own WSW groups
     

You will receive a downloadable, 85-page WSW manual in both English and Spanish as part of this course to ensure you're equipped to lead your WSW group.

You can earn 5 contact hours for RN re-licensure and will receive a digital badge in recognition of your accomplishment.
