With a focus on prevention and protection, DBSA groups around the country are responding similarly in response to the coronavirus situation. Until we can resume our in-person groups, please take part in online groups. We realize that these meetings are very popular, and many are full. However, you may still be able to participate in a group by choosing to be added to the waitlist for an upcoming session and then joining the meeting standby room up to 15 minutes prior to start time. Frequently, a number of people who register or are on the waiting list end up not actually participating, so spaces often become available at the last minute. In addition, visit SupportGroupsCentral for other relevant groups which may be available for free or for a nominal charge. There are also many valuable resources available on our site.
We are grateful for your patience and understanding.

ON A MORE PERSONAL NOTE:
Those of us who live with mood disorders are used to fighting battles--on a daily basis. Let's do what we can each day to maintain our wellness. If you need to contact your provider regarding medication or other concerns, reach out to them. Most are making telemed options available. If you need someone to talk to or chat/text with, there are options for each on our Resources page. Let's also continue to make sure we're taking care of ourselves physically, paying particular attention to sleep, exercise and nutrition. We will get through this, and we'll soon be able to once again spend time in person offering each other encouragement and support like we've been doing for years.
