2016 Annual Report MENTAL HEALTH IS A BASIC NEED Dear Friends, Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) Greater Houston grew substantially last year, providing life-saving, free, and confidential peer-to-peer support groups — facilitated and supervised by licensed mental health professionals — to more people than ever before. By expanding its reach and impact, particularly with the remarkable growth in middle and high schools, DBSA made significant progress in breaking down the stigma of mental illness and in offering a hopeful path that leads toward mental wellness. DBSA’s outlook is more promising than ever because generous and loyal donors like you keep DBSA’s support groups free and accessible for people who need them. Your financial support sustains DBSA’s growth and provides hope and healing to thousands of people living with and affected by depression and bipolar disorders. We recognize mental health as a basic need like food, water, clothing, and shelter. Without mental health our ability to live gratifying, full, and productive lives is severely jeopardized. We hope you will continue to support the basic need of mental health by giving through DBSA to help the many people in our community afflicted with mental disorders. With gratitude, 2017 Board Chair President and CEO Donate Mission Moments “This group is wonderful. Good people. I feel safe and it has given me immense hope and helpfulness in life.” “Coming to DBSA has saved my life!” “I love DBSA! Eleven years and counting.” “DBSA has been a lifesaver and a place of safety and love.” “I really feel supported by my group. I look forward to it every week.” “For the two years I have been attending, DBSA has been a tremendous benefit.” — DBSA support group participants 2016 Annual Giving We are very grateful for the support of the following donors. $100,000 and Above Evelyn and Bob Jewell Pam and Jimmy Erwin Christian Brothers Automotive In Memory of Robert Alden In Memory of Will Erwin John S.
