About this meeting
This meeting is designed, led and attended by those who are diagnosed with depression or believe they may have a depressive disorder. The intention of this group is to create a safe space for sharing depression stories, questions and concerns. Our engaging video-based groups provide self-help education and peer support. Led by a Certified Peer Specialist, these meetings are confidential and anonymous. You choose how involved you would like to be. If you don't feel comfortable talking - it's OK to just listen.
About the host
Hello! I am a Certified Peer Specialist with experience in the areas of depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, family support, and trauma. I am a state certified WHAM (Whole Health Action Management) wellness coach, Certified Parent Peer Support Specialist, and experienced WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) group facilitator. I am also certified by the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association as a Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP). I feel honored and privileged to support peers along their recovery journey by using my training, lived experience, and compassionate connection.
Motivation for help
After experiencing the loss of my son and his father to suicide, I am motivated to support family and friends who support loved ones living with mental illness or addiction or who have lost loved ones to suicide. I also want to help peers recognize that a mental health diagnosis or substance use disorder does not prevent them from living the life they deserve and desire.

I love any group Christina facilitates. She is my favorite facilitator.
I hope to see Jalisa, the facilitator in training, again. I think she will be amazing as a group facilitator. She had a lot of great insight and supportive responses.

Christina’s always been one of my most favorite DBSA facilitators, but I had no idea how enlightened I’d feel having a more intimate experience in a smaller setting with women only. I absolutely loved what I learned today and I’m thrilled to have a little homework to do! Thank you so much Christina (and DBSA) for holding space for us tonight! 😇🥰
