What we’re about

Welcome to the Depression & Bipolar Support Group. Our peer-run support groups are for those suffering from depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism, etc. We offer a safe, supportive, non-judgmental place to meet and share your experiences with your peers. Sharing is never required.

There is much evidence that support groups can be beneficial and therapeutic for those with these illnesses. A support group atmosphere can empower us through sharing, listening, and learning about personal experiences and how we strive to manage our conditions.

There is no need to RSVP, preregister, or pay a fee. Use only your first name if you have concerns about confidentiality.

Weekday Check-In, 10:15–11:00 a.m. Eastern
Description: A short peer-to-peer meeting. Usually 15–20 minutes. No deep sharing, just a short list of easy questions that we each answer in turn. It is designed to get us on track for the day. We hear friendly voices and are reminded of little things we can do to make us feel better and help us commit to doing one thing today that might make us feel better. Afterward, you can get on with your day or stay and chat with others who stay.
