Whether you are a parent, sibling, partner, extended family member, friend, housemate, or an adult child of someone with bipolar disorder, this group is designed to support you.
These interactive sessions provide valuable information about bipolar disorder and offer a space to share experiences and learn practical strategies for coping. Topics covered include:
