According to a recent World Health Organization report on the top five causes of disease in the world, depression is number five.

Through the English text and this Manual is the attempt to respond to this fact and other pressing data. That other data includes: the status of mental health in the U.S in general, mental health and depression among the Latino/Hispanic population in the U.S. , and with three sub-groups of Hispanic women: long-term residents, recent arrivals and individuals who cross back and forth between the U.S. and Mexico border (transborder individuals).

For additional information on the project please contact Eva Margarita Moya LMSW, moyaevam@earthlink.net and Patty Stephens, Ph.D. and LMSW-ACP drpattystephens@aol.com
The training guide and the book are available in spanish through Instituto Mexicano de Psiquiatria.
