Date:  Wednesdays
Time:  7 - 9 p.m.

Dr. Fawcett  facilitates this support group for bipolar disorder and depression. This group is supportive as well as educational.

As a member of the group, you will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions as well as share your experiences with others. All of your ideas are welcome so that together, a group can be created that meets the needs of everyone in the best way possible.
