We are delighted to share that the iFightDepression Guide training has been successfully included in Hungary’s Continuing Medical Education system. In recent months, the Hungarian EAAD network has delivered a series of training sessions primarily for clinical psychologists, many of whom have become committed guides for the free online iFightDepression self-management tool. By integrating this resource into their daily practice, they can make an important contribution to addressing depression and suicidal behaviour in Hungary. The training has also been accepted into the Continuing Medical Education system for the coming year, too. This is an important step towards ensuring the ongoing growth and sustainability of the Hungarian Guide network which will continue to benefit from a steady influx of newly trained professionals in the months and years ahead.

The Hungarian EAAD network will be in discussions with a potential new member over the next few months. With the launch event of this new member, the national network will further strengthen its joint efforts to improve the recognition and treatment of people suffering from depression in Hungary.
