DBSA Support Groups
All DBSA online support groups are free of charge. Online support groups are led by peers, which means that the person guiding the meeting knows firsthand what it’s like to live with a mood disorder. DBSA 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’s Educational Resources
Educational resources for people with mental health conditions across their lifespan. DBSA educational materials help people with diagnoses and their loved ones to know what mood disorders are, and what can be done for treatment and management.
“It [DBSA] has helped families with support groups and educating folks about their moods and emotions, and that has encouraged both Jordan and me to be advocates and to dedicate my life’s work to educating families and offering support around emotions and feelings. They are welcome and a part of our life. Our mom has been a role model and mentor to us and her grandchildren. She has taught us a tremendous amount of resilience. She has shown us highs and lows, and that is life.” – Sheryl, Rose’s Daughter
