As the largest patient-run national organization in the United States serving more than four million patients and family members each year, the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance's Making Recovery Real training services are uniquely positioned to provide practical information to help professionals maximize their limited time with patients, enhance communication, increase patient outcomes, motivate treatment adherence and increase patient satisfaction. 

This practical information is not illness specific, and is helpful for working with individuals living with any mental health challenge.

To help you Make Recovery Real in your health care setting, DBSA provides professional educational training services to health care providers and systems that are designed and delivered directly from the perspective of people living with mental illness.

DBSA's Making Recovery Real training services allow health care professionals to learn directly from a patient organization about what patients need, want, and hope for; along with specific tactics that providers can use to integrate these strategies into their daily practice.
