Abstract
The goal of this brief report is to show the specificity of building local alliances against depression in an Eastern European country within and after the series of 2021 lockdowns. It will be described in the form of a short communication piece. The semi-peripheral specificity of Poland adds some insights which will be useful for other leaders of similar alliances globally. This short report can be read as a higher resolution of the European Alliance Against Depression (EAAD) method activities known from other recent works. We want to answer the question of how to begin the activity and launch such an alliance in the semi-peripheral context of non-Western Europe.
