"This was the most important experience I have had since I was first diagnosed -- I finally found others who understood -- even without having to say a thing. I don't feel so alone. " "The conference turned out to be much, much, much better than what I expected. The speakers, the workshops were fantastic. I have a better understanding of my son's illness. Thank you! " "The breakout session choices / options were excellent. ‘Ask the Professional’ was the best ever at a conference. " "The information, the people, the hope! Well done! " "The variety of speakers and peer roundtable sessions were great. " "Really motivational keynotes just excellent!

" "That there are people of all races, ages, and socio-economic status that are feeling the effects of mental illnesses from a loved one. I like the comraderie. People let down their guard. They were very sincere and compassionate. I saw a lot of tears and that was touching. " "The facilities are fabulous. Service great. DBSA staff are wonderful and top quality. Content is perfect to motivate and instruct. Excellent conference. A+"
"Everything I learned was pertinent and stimulated ideas to implement at the local chapter. " "Knowing that people understood. " "The variety of topics and the inclusion of art and comedy and literature; also I liked the peer support roundtables. " "New approaches for managing my illness. " "Ever since my burnout / breakdown / whatever, I have felt like a bad person who was too weak and stupid to prevent this from happening. I've given up a coveted coordinator position for our school system and my consulting and training position for a national reading company. I've felt tossed around by the system as though I had no choice. This conference has empowered me to go back and hold my head up high and stand up for my rights as an individual. I've been inspired by the stories of successful return to productivity. " "Wonderful conference! I plan to attend next year. Please, keep up the great work. All of the staff really extended themselves to us. Much thanks! "
"The energy generated by these conferences will have a wellness ripple effect throughout all those touched by the attendees when they go home. For sure an event that will "improve the lives of those living with mood disorder". What a concept. It is really a blessing for me to be here at the conference. I couldn't come without Rebecca's Dream. I guarantee you that I'll do a world more good with what I've gained from the conference. Thank you! You're helping many through me. " "By attending the DBSA conference, I have been able to meet and network with other peers who have a plethora of knowledge, insight and resources on how to run a successful DBSA chapter. " "I cannot thank you enough for enabling me to attend this conference. It revolutionized my desire to continue to help others in their recovery. Without this scholarship, I would not have had the opportunity to be so inspired to continue to reach out to so many hurting people. Thank you again for your gift of inspiration. I am in the middle of a divorce of a 29-year marriage. " "It is reinforcing to know that others have coped and recovery is a reasonable goal. I am thankful to Rebecca's Dream for providing my scholarship. It was wonderful to finally meet her parents and am thankful to them for carrying on her legacy. " "The variety in key notes & breakout sessions. I like the fact that the handouts are available on the DBSA website. I'm looking forward to sharing some of the information I learned about with the members of the Grand Rapids support group. "
