Some of us rebel at the thought of a Higher Power and subsequently the whole 12 Step program. I personally believe Depressed Anonymous is the best thing to manage my depression long term but I want people to heal and have hope regarding depression. Healing is even more important than the 12 Steps. With that in mind here is some free training available for Positive Psychology.
