She's very generous, lets everyone share. Takes time. She's great!(P.S.: I was in a group with Adam L last Sunday and would say all of the same things. But the survey didn't come up afterwards.)

Having a loved one with mental illness is painful and exhausting and the DBSA support groups have been so helpful. I am grateful that these groups exist and for the group leaders/moderators. At the beginning, I suggest everyone should be given 2-3 minutes to give quick intros, so not one person monopolizes the time. One person had the floor for 20 minutes, which was not fair to others who were still waiting to introduce themselves.

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 enable 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, visit https://www.dbsalliance.org/support/chapters-and-support-groups/.
