February's meeting will be on Thursday, February 18th. Our speaker will be Brenda Mosby. Brenda is a speacialist om occupational and disability issues, and she has been one of our most popular speakers. If you have work issues of any kind, or if you are unable to work, you will want to come and hear about resources available to you.

March 18, 2010: Suicide Prevention. A representative from The Second Wind Fund will be with us to discuss this topic. The last time we had a guest from this group, we were challenged to leave suicidal thinking behind, and some of us had major life changes as a result. The Second Wind Fund is an organization that began working with schools to decrease the suicide rate. Not only are they the largest provider in the state to youth in the schools who might not otherwise receive help, they have become a national organization!

April 15, 2010: Larry Sanders, MD. Dr Sanders is a psychiatrist who specializes in depression and bipolar disorder. He will be speaking about medication management and how to work with your doctor on finding the medications that work the best for you.

Do we always meet each month?
Yes, you don't have to call me to see whether we are meeting, but feel free to call if you have questions about the meeting. If any meeting is cancelled (This happened once in ten years), I will put it on the website and send an email ASAP.

If you are new to the group, just come. There is no charge but we pass the hat. Family and friends are always welcome, as well as those who have a mood disorder such as depression or bipolar disorder. The group is for adults over age 18. People who are new frequently like to call ahead with question, and this is fine.

I always plan to be at the church, no matter what the weather except for when all of Denver shuts down. This means the schools, (ALL schools, not just Denver), AND businesses AND the airport. The only time we cancelled a meeting for weather during the past ten years was in 2001 when it snowed 4 feet in March. Please decide for yourself whether it is safe for you to drive to the meeting. Some of our best meetings are those with smaller attendance when the weather is bad.

Our group is a member of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance. To learn more about DBSA, a national network of recovery groups, see their website.
