We are a mood-disorder self-help support group affiliated with the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA). 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.
Our Princeton group meetings are held every Tuesday from 7:30 pm to 9:15 pm in classrooms 1 and 2 of the Education Building at the Princeton Medical Center.
See our directions page for more information about our locations.

Meetings are led by trained facilitators who run the meeting and participate in the discussion just like any other member. We’ve been averaging a dozen attendees at our meeting.
