The DBSA Wellness Wheel is an easy-to-use tool that gives you a complete picture of the progress you’ve already made in your wellness journey. As you create your own wheel, you will see your strengths in perspective and discover ways to move toward the life you want to live.

Your completed wellness wheel will reveal areas you feel strong in and areas you may want to address in some way. A great way to help make sense of your wheel is to create goals. Use the goal planner worksheet on the last page to plan your next steps towards wellness with the DBSA Wellness Wheel.

Tracking how you are feeling each day can be helpful to understand your overall mood and state of well-being. If you live with depression or bipolar, understanding the changes in your mood, interactions of medications, substance use, nutritional intake, and exercise, will help you gain more insight into what works best for your personal wellness.

Find support from others living with depression or bipolar disorder in one of DBSA’s online or in-person identity-focused support groups. Designed to be welcoming and supportive spaces, these groups offer participants the chance to discuss shared experiences and find community with others walking a similar path to wellness.

As you know, DBSA is committed to expanding access to our mental health resources by taking advocacy for underserved communities to the next level. To that end, we have developed a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) resources toolkit to support your efforts as you begin to reach out to local mental health providers and underserved populations in your community.
