By sharing experiences, insights and ideas, people get peer-to-peer
support from others who have "been there"
What happens at a DBSA Support Group stays within the group.
Our group started out in the fall of 2004, meeting in a very small church every week.
As with anything NEW to a community, it took us awhile to let people know that we exist.
We have progressed to having a reliable 'core group', people who come on a regular basis,
who have lived with these illnesses for years. They have education through experience that is an encouragement to consumers
who are newly diagnosed, as wlel as others who have not yet found the best treatment options for themselves.

DBSA support group meetings focus on mutual aid and strategies for living the fullest
life possible.
Participants make the group a safe place by fostering a supportive, trustworthy, respectful,
non-judgmental atmosphere.
The Depression and Bipolar Support Group of Middletown...
runs by the same standards
as our national DBSA organization.
Our group was founded by a consumer who had been able to attend the 2004 DBSA National
Conference in Pittsburg, PA. It was at this convention, that she realized the need that the Middletown area community
had for this organization.
