Welcome
The Napa Valley Bipolar Depression Support Group is open to those who are high-functioning with Bipolar Disorder or Major Depression, as well as, family members of those with mood disorders. You are welcome to share your experiences - though it’s not required. In addition to receiving support, literature, books and videos are also available to check out. You may come and go as you wish, as the group requires no commitment.
We exist to support, empower and advocate for people with mood disorders and their family and friends. We encourage education, the exchange of information, and peer support in a way that is sensitive and responsive to needs. The support group is a safe, caring environment in hopes to enhance the quality of life for all. We’ve been there. We can help.
Our support group meets on Mondays from 7:15pm - 9:15pm at Clinic Ole, Napa California (2nd Floor Schafer Room). Click here for directions.

We are looking to you and our Napa community to help us reach our goal of $25,000. We have to sustain what was grown as a grassroots effort over the past 6 years. We are now a newly formed 501 (3) non-profit organization, complete with an unsalaried Board of Directors that volunteer their time and skills to reach those people who need a safe and supportive place to make sense of the stigmas and challenges of depression and bipolar disorder.
This year we will enhance this website, the first point of contact for some, where people first realize that others have been there and can understand what they are going through. Our volunteer facilitators (who may be consumers or family members) will receive extensive training so they can become empowered and provide comfort and guidance for group members. We will increase the small library that provides invaluable educational materials for members to take home, where we carry “Bipolar Disorder” magazine, current hardback books and relevant DVD’s. We will be educating the community with awareness events held in cooperation with other providers. Luckily, Community Clinic Ole generously allows us use of the space to provide these most needed support groups.
Your donations will help Napa DBSA address the stigma associated with mental illness and lessen the challenges for family, friends and those dealing with depression or bipolar disorder in the Napa community. Please, if you possibly can, send your gift today.
