Stacie Weaver, Executive Director of DBSA WV, went on the “Positively West Virginia” podcast to promote our nonprofit through this media format willing to share positive, inspirational stories about West Virginia organizations and businesses.

DBSA WV participated in the 2026 National Association of Social Workers, West Virginia Spring Conference in Charleston, WV from May 6th through 8th. Executive Director Stacie Weaver and Administrative Assistant Roger Neptune represented DBSA WV all three days of the NASW conference, spreading the word about our services and resources.

Kari Williams, Roger Neptune, and Stacie Weaver represented DBSA WV at the End The Stigma Event in Buckhannon’s Jawbone Park on May 2, 2026. The event brought awareness to many often-stigmatized issues such as mental health, substance use disorder, domestic violence, suicide, grief & loss, and other health topics.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to breaking the stigma that prevents so many from seeking the care they need. While mental health affects everyone, it presents a unique challenge for men, who often feel pressured by societal expectations to remain stoic and “tough it out.”

Please visit the DBSA WV office in Morgantown for free brochures on depression, bipolar disorder, and many other topics.

DBSA WV has partnered with Chipotle on 117 Foxtown Drive (off Pierpont Exit of I-68) in Morgantown, WV for a fundraiser. On July 11th from 4PM to 8PM only, please use code 2Z9ARLX when ordering at the restaurant and/or for self-pickup. 25% of sales will be donated to DBSA WV if we reach $150 in total sales (Code 2Z9ARLX must be used; Delivery orders and gift cards do not count toward our total).

This year’s Kickin It For Katy 5K and Walk at Fairmont State University was on April 25th. DBSA WV distributed brochures and other items to promote our free peer-led support groups for Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and other co-occurring mood disorders.

If you have attended a Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) West Virginia support group meeting, your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. At DBSA WV, our mission is to provide hope, help, and support to individuals living with mood disorders across the state. By completing this brief survey, you help us improve our peer-led meetings and ensure we are meeting the needs of our community members and their loved ones. Thank you for sharing your experience and helping us grow!

April is nationally recognized as Sexual Assault Awareness Month. As such, RDVIC had their “Walking With Survivors” event in Morgantown at the Morgantown Farmers Market Pavilion on Spruce Street on Saturday, April 18, 2026. A windy day again this year, DBSA WV was represented by Executive Director Stacie Weaver (right) and Administrative Assistant Roger Neptune (left), giving out information and spreading the word about DBSA’s free support groups and resources for those with depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders.
