Next DBSA meeting will be in Valparaiso on Wednesday May 19th 6-8pm

This meeting will be at Porter-Starke Services at 601 Wall St. It will be a rap session where anyone who wants to share is given a chance to. We always learn so much at these meetings and can ask questions of those who have been there. We hope to see you there.

With summer almost here and so many kids home from college for the summer we at DBSA NWIN were wondering if there was a need and an interest in a separate support group for the younger consumers. Teens to young adult. At the present group everyone is welcome and we do have a wide variation of ages. Let's face it though, teens are a group unto themselves. If they are bipolar or suffer depression they have questions and situations all of there own that they would like information on. Such as dating, school, life after school, suicide, meds and their effects on your body. I am sure many teens and young adults think they are alone in this illness, but it is amazing how many others there are out there with the same problems, just no one to share them with. So if you are a teen or know a teen that you think would be interested, let us know at DBSA NWIN and we will get started on a group just for you. You can contact us directly by clicking on the link to the National DBSAlliance and go to Indiana support groups, you will see us there. Also feel free to click on comments under this entry and tell us what you think of this idea. It is confidential so don't be afraid to be honest. We hope to hear from you and see you on Wednesday the 19th.
