Das Programm richtet sich an Menschen mit leichteren Depressionsformen, d.h. leichte bis mittelgradige, aber auch subklinische Depression. Es zielt darauf ab, Betroffene beim eigenständigen Umgang mit den Symptomen einer Depression zu unterstützen.
iFightDepression beruht auf den Prinzipien der ...Kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie, welche sich in der Forschung als wirksam bei Depression erwiesen hat. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass onlinebasierte Programme genauso gut wie eine persönliche Behandlung bei einem Arzt oder Therapeuten funktionieren können.
Es ist derzeit in zwölf Sprachen verfügbar (deutsch, englisch, italienisch, estnisch, ungarisch, griechisch, norwegisch, spanisch, katalanisch, baskisch, albanisch, arabisch; Stand November 2018). Die deutsche Version wird über die Stiftung Deutsche Depressionshilfe im Rahmen einer Kooperation mit der Deutsche Bahn Stiftung angeboten, evaluiert und weiterentwickelt.

While the ratification of the Convention and its Optional Protocol has proceeded rapidly, knowledge on how to implement and monitor them has not kept pace. Conscious of this challenge, my Office has developed this Training Guide on the Convention and its Optional Protocol. It is complemented by eigh...t training modules, designed to inform and empower those who are involved in ratifying, implementing and monitoring the two instruments. While the Training Guide is mainly targeted at facilitators of training courses on the Convention and its Optional Protocol, it acknowledges that each and every one of us has a role to play. I recommend wide dissemination of the training package, and its use by all those who want to embark upon the essential journey towards greater awareness and effective implementation of the rights of persons with disabilities and, ultimately, the building of an inclusive society for all.

Onchocerca volvulus transmitted by repeated bites of infected blackflies (Simulium spp.). These blackflies breed along fast-flowing rivers and streams, close to remote villages located near fertile land where people rely on agriculture.
There is a need to reinforce skills of national and district... health workers to know and identify the disease, understand the risk factors according to the context and living conditions of the affected communities, and promote the implementation of public health interventions. With the shift from control to elimination, large areas in Africa require mapping to assess whether transmission is active, and treatment required. A sampling strategy named Onchocerciasis elimination mapping has been developed to help countries conduct those assessments and start treatment where needed.
This course examines the epidemiology of Onchocerciasis, clinical aspects, impact, diagnosis, treatment and control, elimination, public health interventions and role of community health workers
