The Depression & Bipolar Alliance website has an expanded their set of resources to help family & friends cope & find support for their loved ones struggling with depression or bipolar disorder at: https://www.dbsalliance.org/support/for-friends-family/
We typically do not allow friends or family members, who themselves, do not struggle with depression or bipolar disorder, to attend our group meetings as we find that makes it even more difficult for people to fully share about their personal mental health struggles. We acknowledge that it is difficult for friends & family to watch their loved ones suffer so we try to share any friends or family resources that we have or know about, as much as possible. Unfortunately, our chapter does not have the resources to hold a separate friends & family support group at this time.
