Navigating Depression cards

Navigating Depression uses the metaphor of a journey to help people explore, understand, and respond to the challenges of depression. This unique set of 40 beautifully illustrated  cards features five characters who travel through difficult emotional terrain, sparking conversations about resilience, self-care, and support.

Each card combines an evocative image and word on the front, with prompts, questions, and evidence-based exercises on the back. The set helps people share their experiences, build emotional literacy, notice early warning signs, and create healthy habits to manage low mood.

Suitable for teachers, counsellors, social workers, psychologists, parents, and anyone supporting young people or adults in distress, Navigating Depression is designed for one-on-one therapeutic conversations, group work, and classroom use.

Every set comes with bonus access to the Navigating Depression Digital Toolbox – including digital cards, booklet, and an expanding range of blogs, activities, and resources you can use anywhere.
