PSDS is pleased to announce the launch of Support Partners: Canine
Companions, co-sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and PSDS. Often,
people with depression build a support network of family, friends and
their doctor as part of their first steps towards recovery. Now, Canine
Companions can show them how to expand their support team to include an
unexpected, but important companion - their dog. The Support Partners:
Canine Companions program is the newest component to Support Partners,
which encourages a support-team approach to overcoming depression.
