Approaching Treatment Resistant Depression

A two-hour interactive workshop designed to encourage and equip mental health professionals in their work with depressed clients.
About this Event

Depression is a serious condition that comes with a significant mortality risk and has been a leading cause of disability for decades. Every therapist will encounter it and, at some point, be challenged and discouraged by it.

When the standard of care inevitably fails, it is easy for a practitioner to feel lost, ineffective, or even insecure in their approach. This two-hour interactive workshop is designed to lift the clinician’s spirit and reconnect them to their inexhaustible internal resources, as well as provide them with tangible tools to offer their wounded clients.

Depression is characterized by darkness and emptiness. This learning opportunity brings therapists together to rekindle the light of compassion and unconditional positive regard.

"As therapists, we all struggle staying connected with our severely depressed clients...yet connection remains, as always, the key. Brodin brings rare skill and humanity to work with severely depressed clients. Over five years of supervision, I’ve consistently been struck by his grounded presence, clinical depth, and remarkable ability to join with even the most difficult clients in ways that feel genuine, accessible, and deeply therapeutic." - Dave Phillips, Clinical Supervisor & Mental Health Trainer

"What I appreciate most about Brodin as a facilitator and therapist is his ability to create environments that are both intellectually engaging and personally meaningful. He has a unique gift for translating complex clinical challenges into clear, practical approaches while helping clients connect with their own strengths and wisdom. Participants can expect to leave this workshop with greater confidence, deeper understanding, and tangible tools they can apply in their work with clients experiencing depression." - Denise Rubin, Clinical Supervisor & Certified Canadian Counsellor.
