Warsaw Alliance Against Depression

Famous and internationally awarded Polish actress Ms. Krystyna Janda played an experienced psychotherapy supervisor in the Polish edition of the well-known global series In Treatment (HBO) — bringing the complexity of psychotherapists' work and the standards of this demanding profession closer to a wide audience. The art of acting can perfectly disenchant the image of professional psychotherapy in a country marked by misunderstanding of even the concept of mental health.
Now the same voice of Krystyna Janda does a lot of good to destigmatize depression in Poland in a film premiered by the Warsaw #AllianceAgainstDepression. From the very beginning, one of the allies of the first Polish local alliance created in Warsaw Capital City Center according to the EU and WHO best practice standard has been locally prominent Teatr Polonia, where Ms. Janda is the artistic director. Similar alliances are being established in other capital cities: Athens and Sofia. In Germany, there are already more than eighty. In familiar voices, they speak locally about depression as a real disease that can affect anyone and can be effectively treated.
The animated video from Warsaw was created for public use within European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) Third Health Programme's EAAD-Best. Together with Marta Smagowicz they proceeded the local partnership and borrowed some informal know how from as always friendly Radio TOK FM.
