Our 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. In addition to our general support groups, we offer specialized groups for:

• Young adults
• Military Veterans from all branches of the service
• People of color
• DBSA friends, family, and caregivers supporting loved ones with mood disorders
• People with co-occurring diagnoses of substance use and mood disorders

 

All DBSA online support groups are free of charge.

• Some of our Local Chapters host online support groups open to all geographies. Scroll down or click to learn more.
• Our National online support groups are hosted by Support Group Central (SGC), a DBSA approved vendor. Upon registration, you will receive an email from SGC to assist you with managing your account.
