DBSA
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
What is the DBSA Pacific Northwest Regional Chapter?
What’s the difference between a chapter and a support group? A chapter is a separately incorporated non-profit business run by its own board of directors and is affiliated with the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance.
Support groups need to belong to a chapter, thus we have the one chapter covering such a wide area. This chapter encompasses some the DBSA support groups in the following states:
- Alaska
- Idaho
- Montana
- Oregon
- Washington
- Wyoming
Please view all of the support groups and their meeting options.
