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.
