Jewish Family Service of MetroWest presents the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance's Living Successfully with a Mood Disorder on Tuesday evenings this October in Florham Park.  Bonnie Rosenthal, past president of the DBSA chapter in Succasunna will facilitate the free four-part course designed for people diagnosed with depression or bipolar disorder, those who think they may have a mood disorder and supporters of a person with a mood disorder.

The Living Successfully course will help participants learn the basics of mood disorders, available resources and assistance, tips for relationships and recovery and how to build a Living Successfully plan.  Participants report better daily functioning and improved perspective on their long-term mental wellness.  Pre-registration is required by September 27 and is limited to 20 people.  All JFS programs are offered on a non-discriminatory basis.  For more information or to register, contact Bonnie Rosenthal at 973-361-5456 or bonnie@therosenthals.net.   

Rosenthal, a health educator who teaches for the Red Cross, is the founder and former president of DBSA Succasunna.  She also facilitates support groups and educational programs and advocates for people living with physical, mental and/or emotional disabilities.  Currently, she serves as a representative of Morris County on the Got Blue Collaborative committee, a community-wide organization working to bring more awareness to depression. 

Since 1985, the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) has provided hope, help and support to improve the lives of people living with depression or bipolar disorder.  DBSA pursues and accomplishes this mission through peer-based, recovery-oriented, empowering services and resources, and ensures that people living with mood disorders are treated equitably.  To learn more about DBSA, visit www.dbsalliance.org.
