There is no registration required. Simply show up at the meeting place and join in.

All DBSA Hamilton County meetings are free.   Donations are also welcome.

The Depression and Bipolar Groups gets about 3 to 6 attendees each time. 

Talking is always optional at meetings so there is no pressure to participate if an attendee wants to just observe.

The Depression and Bipolar Group meets for approximately 90 minutes.

Each person has the opportunity to share as we go around the table. If you do not want to share simply say pass and we will go onto the next person.

No this is NOT a 12 step group, nor is it a true therapy group.

We are a peer-to-peer group, and do not offer medical advice.  Rather, we encourage those who attend our meetings to seek medical attention from qualified mental health professionals who can offer a plan of treatment.  Many hospitals, doctors, therapists and clinics refer people to our support groups as a supplement to medical care. Our support groups are not “group therapy” and we do not follow a 12 step program.  

We generally have magazines and pamphlets related to Depression and Bipolar available at the meetings.

Yes.
