abstract="In this paper, we present the significance of stressful life events in the development of depression and the role of social workers in the prevention of depressive disorders through socio-therapeutic and psychosocial procedures. The stressful life events include death of spouse, imprisonment, death in close family, the act of suicide in close family, the inability to repay debt, homelessness, serious illness in immediate family member, unemployment, divorce, and family breakdown. Numerous studies have shown that some of these stressful events lead to symptoms of depression in children and adults. Activities of social workers include numerous procedures, i.e. those regulated by law, those aimed at preventing the occurrence of stressful events and depression, as well as rehabilitation of people affected by depression. This area requires further research with a view to find the most effective models of social protection.<p /><p>Language: hr</p>",
