Help participants overcome depression with The Hope Series, where hope becomes a powerful force for positive change, resilience, enhanced mental health, and well-being.
Psychology research shows that the best treatment for depression is hope. This research suggests there is an inverse relationship between the two concepts:
● Hope is the belief in a positive, motivated future and the desire to persevere and strive toward that future.
● On the other hand, depression consists of feelings of sadness, helplessness, and hopelessness about the future. To treat depression, we help individuals become more hopeful.
People with depression often experience a reduced capacity for hope, and a lack of hope is frequently a significant symptom of depression. Therefore, therapists must teach their clients skills so that they can become more hopeful. Hope skills include becoming future-oriented by creating meaning in life, developing healthy relationships, gaining a sense of control, accomplishing goals, and engaging in your life.

Hope allows individuals to quickly overcome low moods by focusing on their future, which can be achieved by engaging in their lives.
This hope series is a treatment approach based on pioneering work called the Hierarchy of Hope Theory. Helping individuals engage in their lives is an effective way to improve their mood.

This work helps facilitators help their clients by…
● Engaging in spare-time activities such as singing, gardening, and exercising.
● Engaging through volunteer work to help elders, students, or animals.
● Engaging at work by learning new technology, taking on leadership roles, and mentoring other employees.
● Engaging by using inner strengths such as courage, altruism, and patience.
● Engaging by focusing on social relationships involving family, friends, and community.
Here are some questions that can guide the exploration of engagement activities:
1. What skills and talents do I possess, or can I develop, that will lead to greater hope and improved mood?
2. What skills and talents can I rediscover that will lead to greater hope?
3. How can I identify and develop what I excel at and love?
4. What am I passionate about?
5. What activities can help me reach my full potential?
6. What activities can I pursue that will lead to a path of hope?

About this workbook:
Generate a Sense of Accomplishment in Your Life is a comprehensive curriculum designed to empower professionals to help clients combat depression. Hope and accomplishment are intrinsically linked to fighting depression. For people dealing with depression, hope facilitates the striving toward and achieving goals. Accomplishment, on the other hand, reinforces hope and fosters a positive outlook and belief in one's capabilities. Hope motivates people to believe in their ability to overcome challenges and barriers, leading to a sense of accomplishment.
This hope series is a treatment approach based on pioneering work called the Hierarchy of Hope Theory. Helping individuals recognize past and present accomplishments and identify and pursue future potential accomplishments decreases depression and generates hope. This workbook is not just a theoretical guide but a practical tool you can use in your therapeutic sessions. It provides a structured approach to help participants recognize the pivotal role of accomplishment in building hope and decreasing depression.

· Chapter 1: Accomplishment Made Easy
· Chapter 2: Succeed by Letting Go and Moving Forward
· Chapter 3: Accomplish Yourself First
· Chapter 4: Cultivating Personal Accomplishments
· Chapter 5: Motivated to Accomplish
As you know, a sense of accomplishment is essential for reducing anxiety by acting as a buffer against negative emotions like depression. Reducing anxiety helps individuals approach challenges with greater calm and focus. Pursuing and achieving goals, driven by hope, contributes to overall happiness and a sense of meaning in life. After celebrating the successful completion of a task, a sense of accomplishment benefits every aspect of a person's life, including mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and instills hope and optimism.
People who experience accomplishment in life share several characteristics:
· They tend to be optimists and have a positive outlook on life, especially in areas of interest.
· They are realists who are committed to achieving goals. This commitment means recognizing problems, setbacks, and barriers, not denying their existence.
· They understand there are ways to move around roadblocks they encounter to find solutions.
· They persevere until they are successful. After celebrating a successful accomplishment, they set new goals and persist in overcoming challenges.
This workbook is part of Positive Psychology – The Hope Series, a five-book series created by Dr. Michelle Scallon and Dr. John Liptak. Their Hierarchy of Hope model helps people generate hope and create a new purpose after experiencing depression or traumatic changes.
As a professional, your role in using this workbook to help participants develop optimism, realism, commitment, and perseverance to generate a sense of accomplishment is invaluable. Accomplishments are the building blocks that enable people to see themselves as capable, construct a sense of themselves as successful, and motivate themselves to set and work toward achieving additional goals.
The exercises and therapeutic processes included in Generate a Sense of Accomplishment in Your Life will help participants form a version of success that offsets changes in mood.
