As previously announced in “Our University,” UC will offer a free one-hour webinar on Depression Awareness Day on Thursday, October 11, 2012 that will allow faculty and staff to learn more about the signs, symptoms, and treatment of depression as well as how to get support for yourself, your family, friends, and colleagues.
