YANA is a voluntary peer support group for people with depression. We’re run by non professionals, but by people with many years of personal experience with depression, postnatal depression and anxiety.

YANA offers:

• Mutual support and encouragement
• Self-help advice
• The opportunity to make friends
• To maintain the confidentiality of our members
• To help overcome the isolation felt by many people with depression
• To help break the stigma and discrimination attached to the illness
• To try to meet the needs of sufferers not covered by health professionals
• A safe haven to be able to share thoughts and experiences with people who understand and will not judge you
• To neither give medical advice nor endorse any medical treatment as we are not qualified to do so.
