Find Support

DBSA in-person and online support groups give people living with depression and bipolar disorder a safe, welcoming place to share experiences, discuss coping skills, and offer each other hope.

DBSA Voices of Hope

DBSA is proud to be a platform that uplifts the peer voice. We believe sharing these stories, especially during a time when people may need it most, inspires hope. Research shows that hope can have a profound impact on our success, happiness, and overall health. At DBSA, we envision wellness for all living with mood disorders. Our community and hope are central to that vision. This holiday season, we can make our vision a reality together!

“There are people who hear you and hear the noise in your head, even if you’re not ready to tell them. DBSA support groups are there to talk about those things, not so that people can judge you or use you as part of a statistic, but because they know you exist. They believe you and believe in you.”

“In that meeting, I discovered that others had had similar experiences to mine. It felt like I had found my home, a place where I truly belonged, and this realization brought me a sense of relief, knowing that I wasn’t alone in my struggles.”

“I am still making connections as a trainer. It can be easy when you are doing well to lose track of your recovery community. As a Peer Specialist, I get to see what recovery looks like for all different people.”
