The School Of You BuddyBox - The Reaction
Knowing who we truly are and embracing it can be transformative. But, in a world where we’re all too aware of other people’s expectations of us, it can be a challenge. We get caught up in the ‘shoulds’ of life. We feel like we should be better, different, more. Our ‘School of You’ BuddyBox helps...

BuddyBox was created for ANYONE who could benefit from a boost, or a pick-me up, or a big dollop of self-care (see, everyone!).
How we can help
Resources
Being diagnosed can be overwhelming – there’s a lot to learn and plenty of prejudice to battle. Telling people is tough, and not everyone will understand.
We’ve compiled a library of resources to help you understand depression and what it means for you.
Peer Support
It is difficult, but talking about depression is really important. We think people who’ve experienced it know best, so we’re passionate about peer support – connecting those who have been through depression with those who are currently struggling, to provide reassurance and comfort during a very scary time. It’s that knowing nod thing again.
Support Directory
There are some really great organisations out there that can help you, and your family, navigate depression.
There are so many in fact, that we’ve put together a directory of organisations that you might find helpful.
Our Story
Think of us as the knowing nod. You’ve seen it – a slight bob of the head, often accompanied by a smile. A little movement that says, “I understand”, “I’m listening” and “I’m here for you”. That’s us.
We really understand how devastating depression can be. Jobs come to an end, relationships break down and lives can be lost, all through the effect of depression. That’s why the work we do here at Blurt is so important – it not only changes lives, but saves them.
