Wichita State University’s Psychology Clinic is offering a free 12-session program for adults coping with depression. ”We are looking for as many people as we can get,” said Rob Zettle, the psychology professor at WSU who is conducting the clinic. No drugs are prescribed, Zettle said, but people who are currently on depression medication can participate . . . Participants will be screened and evaluated for the program. One-on-one sessions will then be scheduled. For more information or to schedule a screening evaluation, contact Zettle at 316-978-3081 or robert.zettle@wichita.edu. [via]

Quoting BBC News:

Sea Sanctuary, a charity based in Falmouth, will offer placements on a 43ft (13m) yacht. Sessions led by mental health professionals are aimed at helping young people address their illness and gain sailing qualifications. The scheme has won funding from the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Primary Care Trust. Sea Sanctuary said the stimulation of sailing the charity’s yacht increased people’s wellbeing and made therapeutic change more likely.

Quoting Sea Sanctuary’s official website:

We will provide comprehensive mental health care onboard a 43ft classic yacht. The support will be through therapy, education/training and respite care and will be available to individuals principally within Cornwall, but also the wider UK. Sea Sanctuary will seek to address the very real issue of mental health well-being for those who most need it.
