About this meeting
DBSA has developed and nurtured the formation of online peer support groups specifically for Black individuals living with a mood disorder or who believe they may have a mood disorder. The groups, led by a Black peer facilitator, create a safe, culturally sensitive space for people to share stories, questions, and concerns.
About the host
Hi šŸ‘‹ I am a Peer Support Group Facilitator with DBSA. I facilitate the DBSA Black Community Mental Health Support Groups every Wednesday at 7pm CST and Thursday at 5:00pm CST. I enjoy supporting people like myself navigate through the hurdle of mental health and wellness. Right now I am raving about this book called The Sugar Jar by Yasmine Cheyenne. It is a book centered on the issues of the Black Community as we navigate Creating Boundaries, and Creating Practices for healing.

It's something about Ashley so sweet and caring and conduct the group with so much respect for everyone. She does a really good job even when she's not feeling her best. It's like a big family in her group

ASHLEY SCOTT is probably the greatest group leader on heypeers.com. I love Ashley's comments and conversation.

She was so sweet. I really enjoyed hearing her experiences similar to mine and how she handled it. Very professional but extremely relatable. She had me smiling and laughing and I needed that.

Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance

Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) is the leading peer-focused national organization focused on depression and bipolar disorder. DBSA's peer-based, wellness-oriented, and empowering services and resources are available when people need them, where they need them, and how they need to receive them. This includes online and local support groups, audio and video casts, and printed materials distributed by DBSA, our chapters, and mental health care facilities across America.

DBSA online support groups provide people living with depression and bipolar disorder a place to share experiences, discuss coping skills, and offer hope to one another. DBSA support groups are peer-led, meaning they are facilitated by someone living with a mood disorder who has been trained and certified to guide others on their journey.

DBSA online support group meetings are peer-based self-help groups. In the DBSA context, a peer is a person with a mood disorder. Another distinction of peer is that we are not professionals - physicians and other mental health providers. We are here to assist, encourage, and enableĀ each other to help ourselves.

Please note that the schedule for DBSA support group meetings on HeyPeers has been updated for 2024. To see all available meetings through DBSA, or to find alternatives if you are waitlisted for a group, visitĀ https://www.dbsalliance.org/support/chapters-and-support-groups/.
