Gordon, PhD, INSIGHT is designed to prevent and reduce depression and stress-related problems in women ages 18 years and older.

epression among American women has risen sharply over the last decade and now ranks as a major health problem. In today's society, many of us are playing multiple demanding roles: wife, mother, daughter, sister, lover, worker, and caretaker of aging parents. The high expectations imposed by society in terms of what we should accomplish--coupled with demands that we care for others before we think of our own needs--can result in feelings of frustration, guilt, and failure. Emotional and physical health are directly related to an ability to handle stress. When we cannot cope with the demands of contemporary life and flourish, the cost to ourselves, our families, and society as a whole, is astronomical.

he INSIGHT Program teaches us what we can change and, step by step, how to better manage stress, how to keep ourselves well, and how to strengthen our own self-esteem. In essence, it gives us positive strategies and specific skills for coping effectively with life's challenges and discovering our own means of personal fulfillment.
