SUPPORT GROUPS

Listing & Event Calendar

DBSA Support Groups provide a caring environment for people to come together to discuss their challenges and successes in living with a mood disorder. We provide a forum for mutual understanding, self-discovery, and finding a path to wellness with support from others who have been there.

We have several types of support groups. Among the groups we have for peers with mood disorders, some are for women and LGBTQIA+ individuals. See our calendar for more information.

Google Calendar

We have resumed in person meetings. Please see the Google calendar for addresses and COVID-19 policy for each host space.

We are utilizing Zoom to allow participants to connect virtually. For dial-in instructions, please see the Google calendar. Please arrive on time so as to allow for time for everyone to share.
