Volunteering Tool Study

Volunteering For Depression / Volunteering For Mania

Volunteering is a wonderful way to stay active and be productive at the same time all the while helping others. It can bring a sense of wholeness and well-being. Many people who suffer from Depression and Mania use this tool and our studies have found it to be very effective.

We have been studying how effective Volunteering is and have so far learned some very interesting things. While many people rave about the difference Volunteering has made, when we dig a little deeper we find that how one uses the tool has a major effect on how well it works.

Please take a couple of minutes to answer the following questions about how you are using Volunteering as a tool. Our hope is that by answering a few simple questions you will learn more about how to use the tool yourself, but also that what you share can benefit others when we compile all of the information we gather.

The study is completely anonymous. We do not even ask who you are or any identifying information. Please fill out the questionnaire below right away and thank you in advance for helping us with our study of volunteering as a tool for depression, mania, and mixed states.
