Welcome to Up and Down Time!
The newly-established Rocky Mountain DBSA is pleased to initiate this blog, which will be a forum for mental health issues in general and mood disorders in particular. We started in Colorado Springs in 2009, and are dedicated to growing peer-led self-help groups such as DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance) throughout Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region.

Charles Sakai is an excellent facilitator of support groups, knowledgeable and understanding and calm. He was the best thing about DBSA when I used them. Bob Campbell
ReplyDeleteBob, thank you for your kind remarks. We plan on adding to this blog frequently to keep our readers informed about mental health issues as well as the Colorado DBSA.
ReplyDeleteI received information once on starting a group in Utah, but I'm not on sturdy enough footing myself to be able to help start something, or I would.
ReplyDeleteI think there needs to be alternatives to NAMI, and if I knew how to get support in helping to start a group around here and not just be on my own in doing it, I'd have a much better shot at it. But I'm too overwhelmed as it is with things going on with me right now, important though the issue is.

Utah has only lately started to join the DBSA bandwagon. Are these chapters anywhere near your hometown?

I'll pass the word of your interest to the president of DBSA Colorado. Our area of interest is the Rocky Mountain region, not just Colorado.
