1) Honestly, it's free. Being an uninsured American, I have been having a hell of a time trying to find ways to navigate out of depression. I learned of this resource in Reader's Digest (India edition), so props to you for having such a wide reach.
2) I love how it's mandatory to work through the program in bite-sized pieces. Not having everything unlocked at once helps make it more likely that I will succeed.
3) I can be as anonymous (or not) as I would like. At first, I made it a goal to post a comment in the forum after every session. Now I enjoy checking in periodically during the week. It's my first time feeling like I am a part of a community of people who are going through similar issues AND are working hard to get better.
4) I liked how I was emailed a follow-up survey to check on my progress.
5) The moderators are very skilled at working with us.
2. The tools and resources are really helpful and the program works. I joined only a few weeks ago and is been of great help already.
3. You guys are great :) Knowledgeable and kind but really challenge us at the same time.
4. Is great to be able to discuss my issues with people who actually know what I am talking about. Friends and family may have good intentions or the desire to help but that is just a part of the support that I need. Their advice can't replace the help from a professional.
5. Knowing that I won't be judged or criticised, only listened to.
