About this free library
Real life in Jamaica. Real struggles. Conversations we need to make room for.
There are things people go through that they find difficult to explain, especially when everybody seems to have an opinion about what they should be doing.
In Jamaica, we know how quickly a conversation can move from concern to criticism.
"Yuh too lazy."
"Yuh need fi get up and do something."
"Other people have it worse."
But what looks simple from the outside can be a very different experience for the person living through it.
This free resource library explores the everyday difficulties that depression can bring into Jamaican homes, workplaces and relationships.
The articles explain. The coping tools offer practical support.
Read what you need. Leave what you don't. Come back whenever you wish.
Everything in this library is free.
