"Educating Ourselves About Depression"

Sisters;

The Eldersburg Relief Society is holding a meeting on February 10, 7-9pm at the Eldersburg Ward Building. It is a class entitled "Educating Ourselves About Depression". This class is for both sisters and brethren. Sister Ann Rothlisberger, a LDS Social Services Counselor, will be speaking on clinical depression (including post partum) and how to recognize when it's time to seek professional help. Sister Lorie Pierce, Eldersburg Ward Relief Society president, will be speaking from a gospel perspective on the day to day dealing with depression. Most of us will at some point in our lives encounter depression - either through experiencing it ourselves or associating with someone who is. This meeting is intended to educate - not diagnose. Should Carroll County Schools be closed that day due to inclement weather or should they close early for inclement weather - this meeting will be postponed until April 7, 7-9pm.

While we are offering a children's class for families in our ward - we are not equiped to offer that to families from other wards. I apologize if any announcement that may have been passed along through our bishops indicated differently.

Thanks! Lorie Pierce
Eldersburg Ward Relief Society President
