All DBSA Online Support Groups are gatherings of peers who assist, encourage, and enable each other in helping themselves. Each participant follows their own unique path to wellness and chooses to make that journey in the company of others headed in the same direction.
Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mood Disorder Support Group Anya Vykopal lived with both a mood disorder and substance use disorder. Sadly in June of 2020, at age 36, she passed away. Anya’s family and friends contributed generously to DBSA in her memory. This new DBSA support group is specifically for those living with both a mood disorder and substance use disorder. If you live with both of these disorders, this group is for you.
DBSA Black Community Mental Health Support Groups DBSA has launched new online peer support groups, specifically for Black individuals living with a mood disorder or who believe they may have a mood disorder. The groups, led by a Black peer support specialist, create a safe, culturally sensitive space for people to share stories, questions, and concerns.
DBSA Family and Friends Support Group The primary participants in this group are family members or friends of individuals diagnosed with a mood disorder or who believe they may have a mood disorder.

The intention of this group is to create a safe space for sharing stories, questions, and concerns that the friends and family may have.
DBSA Military Veterans The participants in this group are military vets who are diagnosed with a mood disorder or believe they may have a mood disorder.
