Technical Assistance Centers (TACs) are funded through a three-year grant from SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The TAC is affiliated with the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA). DBSA is a consumer*-directed national organization with more than half of its board of directors, committee members and staff diagnosed with a mental illness. The TAC serves people living with all kinds of mental illnesses including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia and other illnesses.
DBSA is the leading consumer-directed national organization focusing on the most prevalent mental illnesses, depression and bipolar disorder. The organization fosters an environment of understanding about the impact and management of these life-threatening illnesses by providing knowledge-based tools and information written in language the general public can understand. DBSA supports research to promote more effective, tolerable treatments and person-centered care. The organization works to ensure that people living with mental illness are treated equitably. DBSA was founded in 1985 as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
