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.

To access events and see details, such as in person meeting location or virtual link, you will need to click on the event title (i.e. "Silver Spring Meeting"). The calendar is on the right of this text on desktop, and below the meeting list on mobile.
