"The members of my DBSA support group reached out to me, and made me realize that I was not alone. If not for the support that I received from this organization, I probably wouldn't be here..."

DBSA is now partnering with BringChangetoMind, a national anti-stigma campaign born from a partnership between Glenn Close and Fountain House where Glenn volunteered in order to learn about mental illness, which both her sister Jessie Close and nephew Calen Pick live with.
DBSA will provide additional resources for individuals seeking support and information regarding depression and bipolar disorder. Both Jessie Close and Calen Pick will be keynote speakers at the DBSA 2010 National Conference being held April 30 - May 2, 2010.
