A Note from Suzanne Baber, LCSW, Interim CEO
Hello—I’m Suzanne Baber, and I’m honored to serve as Interim CEO of Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance.
For more than 15 years, I’ve helped mission-driven organizations grow stronger through fundraising, finance, and program development—all grounded in person-centered care and equitable access to mental health support. I’m passionate about building systems that deliver real, measurable outcomes for the people they’re meant to serve.
Moving DBSA forward—together
DBSA is entering an important next chapter made possible by the commitment of our supporters and community. We’re preparing to launch our next strategic plan, focused on validating peer support and strengthening its role within standard treatment protocols.
This work will help DBSA expand partnerships, secure new funding, and continue delivering resources that foster community, connection, and wellness for people living with mood disorders.
We look forward to keeping you informed about this work as the plan takes shape.
A Moment of Impact
Every day, people turn to DBSA during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives—seeking wellness, community, and hope.
Because of donors like you, individuals such as Neville and Cy, found welcoming, peer-led spaces where they felt understood and less alone. Through DBSA, they discovered connection, purpose, and tools to support their wellness.
Your generosity plays a vital role in sustaining DBSA’s work—from free support groups and education to practical wellness tools that help people move forward.
Many members of the DBSA community think thoughtfully about their giving throughout the year. As part of our commitment to transparency and donor education, we share resources on non-cash giving options and upcoming changes to charitable giving tax laws.
