Get Your Guidebooks While support may take many forms, the first step is opening the lines of communication. The Support Partners program offers downloadable tools to help build successful partnerships. Each Support Partners kit includes three, easy-to-read guidebooks: Managing Your Depression (English) (PDF: 525KB) For people with depression. Being a Support Partner (English) (PDF: 394KB) For people who want to support someone with depression. Shared Guidebook (English) (PDF: 237KB) For setting goals, monitoring progress and recording important information. In addition to support from a committed Support Partner, it is vital for a person with depression to seek help from a healthcare professional and undergo the treatment program that is best for him or her.
