* Having someone that is able to listen and relate too is very important, especially someone you can build a relationship on that genuinely cares.
* Having a purpose. depression is sometimes based on the fact that the person has no purpose, no one to impress, no one that needs/appreciate the help they can give.
* Having a method where people can meet and build small common goals for the day/week in smaller groups (5 or less) would really help.
* Exercise, healthy eating and creativity.
* A job = some sort of purpose, so employment.
* Getting a routine.
* Sun/Vitamin D
* Building a positive and useful environment around themselves.
* Being part of something that has some meaning, like if they would not attend/be there it will not advance without them. This makes them important and the feeling of having a purpose to get out of bed.
* Anything that makes you laugh.
