Support Mental Health Through the House of Cards Charity Tournament

Each year, House of Cards Winston-Salem hosts a charity tournament to benefit the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA)—an organization dedicated to providing hope, help, support, and education to improve the lives of people living with mood disorders.

By bringing mental health into everyday conversation, House of Cards helps reduce stigma and raise awareness about the tools and resources available for individuals living with depression and bipolar disorder.

Your donation supports free peer-led support groups, educational materials, and advocacy efforts that empower individuals and their loved ones to find community and take charge of their mental health.

Hello!

Thank you for joining me in the Mad King’s Labyrinth to raise money for the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance! This is an online community event in Guild Wars 2 to bring awareness and support to those struggling with depression and bipolar disorder. DBSA hosts in-person and online support groups to help build community and provide support for people with bipolar disorder and/or depression. I’ve found it incredibly helpful in my own life after being diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder. Please, if you or someone you know is struggling, browse the DBSA website and utilize their resources. Thank you for your support!

I joined DBSA’s Board of Directors because my life has been greatly affected by my friends’ and family members’ struggles with depression and bipolar, and because of my personal experience with DBSA’s incredible support system.

Like so many families, mine has many loved ones who suffer through mood disorders. I have lost six close friends to suicide. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of them. 

During an especially trying time in my own life nearly 15 years ago, a DBSA chapter in New York City was my primary and best support. Meeting regularly with others whose loved ones contended with mood disorders gave me a lifeline. I saw firsthand how DBSA changes and even saves lives.

Since then, any time I encounter someone who is struggling with a mood disorder or has a loved one who is, I first refer them to DBSA. I believe in the organization, its mission, and its impact. 

That is why, for the past decade, our family has made sure to donate to DBSA every year. No organization does more to support and empower those struggling with depression and bipolar. 

Please consider investing in DBSA as well.
