We are a self-help support group affiliated since 1986 with the highly respected Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance. DBSA is in almost all states. We were New Jersey’s first. The mission of DBSA is to improve the lives of people living with a mood disorder, and their loved ones.
People who are living with depression or bipolar disorder (manic depression), and their families and friends, are welcome. Our goal is to help our support group participants towards wellness.
Peer Support Groups
DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance) support groups are non-judgmental peer-support forums for people with mood disorders, family members, friends and others interested in supporting people living with mood disorders. Meetings are led by trained volunteer facilitators who also have mood disorders. Our support group meeting and lectures are handicap accessible.
The Ivan K Goldberg MD Memorial Lecture Series
Education is vital. We offer monthly lectures, usually on the last Wednesday of the month, by mental health professions to help you on your path to wellness. Please see our schedule.
Since April 2020, our interactive lectures have been held online using Zoom.
