Family Support Groups

Hi Julie,

I wonder if there is a way to find out if other people have started support groups for teens or families who have a loved one with BP?

People rave about the NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) family to family program. People also get a lot of help from DBSA (Depression Bipolar Support Alliance).  You can find more info on the web.

I just corresponded with a reader from Australia- you can look up her organization: Association for Relatives and Friends of the Emotionally and Mentally Ill.

Feel free to leave a comment if you have other suggestions!

Julie
