IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU CAUGHT UP WITH CHARISSA.

You finally - finally! - find the time to meet your friend for a coffee, but after the usual pleasantries, she opens up to you.

She's been diagnosed with depression. A moment like this can feel like a fork in the road. Will it lead to an emotionally rewarding conversation or... cause a lot of confusion and awkwardness?

Many of us still largely choose not to talk about mental health - and that often breeds misconceptions and social stigma. Join Charissa as she guides you through these unfamiliar territories and terrains that can be difficult to navigate.

LET THE CONVERSATION BEGIN.
