DBSA online support groups offer people living with depression or bipolar disorder a safe, welcoming space to share experiences, discuss coping strategies, and support one another with hope. All groups are free of charge. 

There are two ways to join a DBSA online support group:

  1. National groups hosted on HeyPeers, a DBSA partner platform. After registering, you’ll receive an email from HeyPeers to help you manage your account.
  2. Local chapter groups, some of which are open to participants from any location.
    NOTE: If you don’t see a national group that fits your schedule, or you’re placed on a waitlist, check to see if a local chapter offers an online group that works for you. Learn more.

DBSA Identity-Focused Online Support Groups

In addition to our general support groups, we offer identity-focused groups.

Designed to be welcoming and supportive spaces, these groups offer participants the chance to discuss shared experiences and find community with others walking a similar path to wellness.
