About the host
Hello! I’m Adam, I am a neurodivergent individual in long term recovery from chaotic substance use. I also live with Bi-polar 1, C-PTSD & Microvascular Ischemia. Most importantly, I am in recovery from a life lived apart from God and Jesus Christ! No matter the combination of illnesses, hurts, habits or heartbreaks that we may face in this life, there are always others who we can connect with to make this journey together.
Motivation for help
I have been helped and supported by so many others. I view it as a privilege to work with others on their life's journeys. For me, I found recovery in my faith and have been blessed to build upon that in order to help others in their journeys. You are not alone!

Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance

Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) is the leading peer-focused national organization focused on depression and bipolar disorder. DBSA's peer-based, wellness-oriented, and empowering services and resources are available when people need them, where they need them, and how they need to receive them. This includes online and local support groups, audio and video casts, and printed materials distributed by DBSA, our chapters, and mental health care facilities across America.

DBSA online support groups provide people living with depression and bipolar disorder a place to share experiences, discuss coping skills, and offer hope to one another. DBSA support groups are peer-led, meaning they are facilitated by someone living with a mood disorder who has been trained and certified to guide others on their journey.

DBSA online support group meetings are peer-based self-help groups. In the DBSA context, a peer is a person with a mood disorder. Another distinction of peer is that we are not professionals - physicians and other mental health providers. We are here to assist, encourage, and enable each other to help ourselves.

Please note that the schedule for DBSA support group meetings on HeyPeers has been updated for 2024. To see all available meetings through DBSA, or to find alternatives if you are waitlisted for a group, visit https://www.dbsalliance.org/support/chapters-and-support-groups/.
