Do you think there should be some organized therapy group for the family, friends and children of people who suffer from depression?

I remember when AA started. Several years later they came up with AlAnon, “Where friends and families of problem drinkers find understanding and support at Al-Anon and Alateen meetings.”

I’ve been going to a counselor lately, every other Wednesday, just to get a different perspective on things in my life. One of those things is dealing with a daughter, and a daughter in law (and, in retrospect, my youngest sister and my mom) and the issues that arise due to their depression.
I asked the counselor if they had any support systems in place for people like us, for understanding and support.
She said they didn’t.

Do you think they should?
