Come see ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ with DBSA Albuquerque on Wednesday, May 15, 2013

DBSA Albuquerque is having its first group outing for 2013. We’ll be meeting at the Cinemark Movies 8 on San Mateo Blvd. north of Montgomery to see the Oscar winning film ‘Silver Linings Playbook.’

Silver Linings Playbook synopsis:

Life doesn’t always go according to plan… Pat Solitano has lost everything – his house, his job, and his wife. He now finds himself living back with his mother and father after spending eight months in a state institution on a plea bargain. Pat is determined to rebuild his life, remain positive and reunite with his wife, despite the challenging circumstances of their separation. All Pat’s parents want is for him to get back on his feet – and to share their family’s obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles football team. When Pat meets Tiffany, a mysterious girl with problems of her own, things get complicated. Tiffany offers to help Pat reconnect with his wife, but only if he’ll do something very important for her in return. As their deal plays out, an unexpected bond begins to form between them, and silver linings appear in both of their lives.

The movie has a life-affirming message and brings to the national stage a positive portrayal of mental health diagnoses.

DBSA Albuquerque will be purchasing tickets for DBSA members who attend the event.

When:
Wednesday, May 15, 2013.
Meeting at box office at 6:15 PM.
Movie starts at 6:40 PM.
Movie is 2 hours 2 minutes.

Where:
Cinemark Movies 8
4591 San Mateo Blvd. NE
Albuquerque, NM 87109

April 25, 2013 – DBSA Albuquerque is moving to a new facility

After a long and enjoyable stay at Trinity United Methodist Church, DBSA Albuquerque has made the decision to move to a new home on the Central New Mexico Community College campus.

The new facility for our weekly support groups is located near the intersection of Buena Vista Drive SE and Coal Avenue SE. Buena Vista Dr is found between Yale to the east and University to the west.

823 Buena Vista Dr SE
Albuqueruqe, NM 87106

At the intersection of Buena Vista and Coal, turn south on Buena Vista. You will see basketball courts on the right side of the street (west). Immediately after the basketball courts is an adobe-style one story building. This is where we will be meeting.

Park on the south side of the building. Entrance to our new meeting hall is on the Buena Vista side of the building (east). There is a central courtyard where we will be meeting before groups. The building is ADA compliant.

The parking area is well-lit, and the parking area is monitored 24 hours by both campus security patrols and a system of video cameras. There are three lighted emergency towers in the immediate vicinity that connect directly to the CNM Security Department dispatch. The CNM Security Department has been advised of our scheduled meeting day and time, letting us know that their response time is less than three minutes.

CNM Security Department Information

The 16/18 Broadway/University/Gibson Bus Route has service to the University/Coal intersection, on the west side of the CNM Campus. This is the closest bus route to the new facility.

16/18 Broadway/University/Gibson Route and Schedule

We will be meeting at the same day and time.

Support groups every Thursday unless otherwise noted.
Doors open at 6:30 PM.
Announcements and Groups begin at 7:00 PM.
Groups will end at 8:30 PM.

We will have a facility host who will let members in and out if arriving late or leaving early. Jordan is our host so be sure to say “hi” to him on the way in.

Thanks for your continued support of your peers and DBSA Albuquerque. We’re looking forward to seeing you at the new facility!
