Welcome to Reaching Out About Depression.
Feeling blue? Having a tough time? Do things seem hopeless?
We are here to help.

Reaching Out About Depression (ROAD) is a free, community-based program created by neighborhood women for neighborhood women. The program supports low-income women who are struggling with depression and its related issues. We have women from other cities that have joined our unique group and love it.

ROAD addresses not only the symptoms of poor women's depression, but also the socio-cultural conditions and inequalities that influence and exacerbate mental health difficulties.

What We Do:
ROAD offers many different types of services and activities to empower its members to effect change, raise awareness, and be community leaders. These include community events, workshops, and support resources. read more...

I was in a community computer lab in the Port/Area 4 ‘round 3:40 pm on August 24th when I heard “pop pop BANG pop pop…” Suddenly every eye turned from their typing and gaming with an alarmed look that hurled the question “Was that gunshots?” I rushed outside selfishly praying there were no ‘bodies’. After all, my child, my nephew, and 98 other youth attend camps in the immediate area of the shooting - and at least a hundred others play at parks daylong. So in my panic I only thought of “The Babies!!!!”….

At least ten other neighbors cautiously spilled out into the streets, fear furrowing our eyebrows, as we witnessed two camp councilors with 20 kids rush from Clement Morgan Park “come on hurry!!!” they uttered while fast tracking their way back to a “safe spot”…Community members discussed what they saw, and we all unified in our fear and our mutual concern for each other as we spoke about the audacity of folks shooting Gunshots on our lawns. read more...
