Tucson Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance.
DBSA Tucson provides peer “support groups” for those with “Mood Disorders” including Depression, Bipolar 1 & 2, and Anxiety. We welcome anyone with mood disorders, and their friends and/or family as well. Our meetings are free of charge and are open to anyone. No reservations required.
We offer a safe place to get support, build self-esteem, and become more educated about our disorders.
Peer support means no one is a Professional: all members & group facilitator’s fight mental illness, or are caring for someone with mental illness. We are not therapists or counselors.
DBSA group participation helps:
- Reach individuals & family members & friends affected by depression, bipolar disorder (1 & 2) and anxiety with a safe place for peer support in Tucson.
- Help people help each other successfully manage their mood disorder.
- Provide emotional support and the wisdom of experience to sufferers, families and friends.
- Help reduce discrimination and stigma related to depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety.
- Help participants rediscover strength and humor they may have felt they lost.
- Educate chapter participants and the public through programs and resources about mood disorders.
- Build self-esteem and empower participants to actively improve their life, and the lives of others affected by depression or bipolar disorder.
