DBSA aims to address the gap in access to mental health care by providing peer-led support groups, holding more than 20,000 support group meetings annually.
In research conducted by Pepperdine University, DBSA support groups showed that participants reported higher levels of understanding and acceptance of their mental health condition, confidence about their treatment, optimism and control over their future, and self-esteem.
In addition to our general support groups, we offer online cultural and 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, including parents and caregivers of children who live with a mood disorder, and friends and family groups.
