Staging a Depression Intervention

Before staging a depression intervention, it’s crucial to understand the steps involved.

1. Information Gathering: Our interventionist will talk with you about your loved one to better understand the situation.
2. Plan Development: Using evidence-based methods, our interventionist creates an intervention strategy and treatment plan. This treatment plan is designed for your loved one’s specific needs.
3. Group Preparation: The interventionist will meet with you, your family, and anyone else who will be attending the intervention. We’ll go over the intervention details and everything to expect.
4. The Intervention: We stage the intervention in a casual, relaxed setting. The clinician leads the intervention, but family members will all have a chance to speak.
5. Accepting Treatment: Should your loved one accept treatment, our clinician can travel with them directly to the treatment center.

Including a professional during an intervention is important. We provide an unbiased perspective that family members often can’t. Our goal isn’t to force treatment but to offer help and present choices for bettering their life.

How a Depression Intervention Differs From Other Intervention Types

We often utilize a more motivational-focused approach for depression interventions compared to substance use interventions. While both may touch on consequences and boundary-setting, the primary goal of a depression intervention is to come to an agreement about the need for treatment. This can be in-patient treatment, out-patient treatment, or therapy.

When an Intervention For Depression is Needed

Postpartum Depression Intervention

Postpartum depression is a common mood disorder that affects up to 15% of new parents. While this condition is common, it can have serious and lasting consequences for both parent and baby. If your loved one is feeling hopeless, low-energy, crying excessively, or experiencing other postpartum depression symptoms, an intervention can help connect them with the help they need.

Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depression) Intervention

Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic-depression, can cause intense mood shifts and uncharacteristic behaviors. Your loved one may go through manic episodes where they seem to have endless energy or low periods where they have serious depression symptoms. Bipolar Disorder is a serious medical condition that requires professional treatment. An intervention is one of the best ways to connect your loved one with the help they need.

Other Types of Depression Interventions

If your loved one has another type of mood disorder, or if they haven’t yet been diagnosed, an intervention can still help. This type of service provides invaluable support and encouragement for the road ahead.
