Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance will meet Thursdays on campus

A support group for people with depression/bipolar disorder is being started on campus. The support group will be associated with the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) of Brown County. DBSA support groups are peer led and provide the kind of sharing and caring that is crucial for a lifetime of wellness.

DBSA support groups:
• Give you the opportunity to reach out to others and benefit from the experience of those who have “been there.”
• Motivate you to follow your treatment plan.
• Help you understand that a mood disorder does not define who you are.
• Help you rediscover strengths and humor you may have thought you had lost.
• Provide a forum for mutual acceptance, understanding and self-discovery.

Meetings will be weekly on Thursdays at 6 p.m. in MAC Hall 301 (Vista Room) starting this week (Sept. 13). For additional information contact staff member Greg Smith at the Counseling and Health Center 465-2380.
