Support groups for depression, bipolar disorder scheduled to meet

The local chapter of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance hosts two support groups in Ventura.

One group meets 6:30 to 8 p.m. every Tuesday at Bible Fellowship Church, 6950 Ralston Street, Room 301 of Building 300.

The second group meets 2 to 4 p.m. on the first and third Wednesday of every month at the Adult Wellness and Recovery Center, 56 E. Main Street, Ste. 103.

The support groups are open to anyone who is diagnosed with a mood disorder, has a friend or family member who has been diagnosed, or who thinks they might have depression or bipolar disorder. The groups are not run by professionals; instead they offer peer-to-peer support.
