In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, many DBSA chapters are reporting interruptions in their regularly scheduled support group meetings. In some cases, facilitators and participants are considered at higher risk for developing coronavirus. Many meeting locations have temporarily cancelled group gatherings in line with state and local governments calling for social distancing to avoid crowds or public meetings of 10 or more. As a result, some of our chapters are temporarily suspending support group meetings. Others are substituting telephone or video call meetings to best support their peers. Be sure to check with your local group to see how they are meeting right now.
To help everyone find alternative sources of support, DBSA has added 5 new online support groups for our peer community.
