Message from Janet Northcott, coordinator of the Southside Group:
We average about 20 people each meeting. Anyone interested in mood disorders is welcome to attend. We focus more on wellness and recovery than on illness and symptoms. We share strategies for managing our lives, getting healthy and staying that way. We share hints for finding the best medication and communicating effectively with doctors and therapists. We have never known anyone to maintain recovery by just popping some pills. Recovery also involves learning new coping and relaxation skills, changing attitudes, beliefs and expectations. No need to call first, just come by and visit with us. Remember, emotions are signals, not commands. Now is not forever. Gratitude is a powerful healing force.









Here are a couple handy links..
