"We've been there. We can help." These simple words carry profound weight for our Colorado Springs neighbors struggling with depression and bipolar disorder. Behind each support group at DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance) sits someone who understands the journey firsthand - because they've walked it too.

Born from a mother's love after losing her son to bipolar disorder in 1994, this grassroots organization has grown into a lifeline for thousands. Every year, over 4,400 of our community members find their way to these free support groups where judgment disappears and understanding flourishes.

"Sometimes we need a community to work with and through our struggles," explains one DBSA volunteer. These peer-led gatherings create spaces where pain transforms into connection, where isolation breaks into belonging.

What makes DBSA extraordinary is that it operates entirely through volunteer hearts and hands. These are your neighbors, dedicating 4,000+ hours annually because they believe no one should face the darkness alone. From facilitating support groups to helping with office work or outreach, there's a volunteer opportunity for every skill set and comfort level.

Whether you're struggling yourself, supporting a loved one, or looking to give back to your community through volunteering, DBSA welcomes you with open arms. Learn how to join a group or support their mission at dbsacoloradosprings.org.

Explore rewarding volunteer options and be part of something meaningful. Together, we can make an impact!
