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!

I attend a support group in Northern Ireland and have recently purchased the downloads of the health cards etc. Is it okay for me to share them with others in the support group? I noticed the copyright signs and I want others to get the benefit that I am already getting.
Hello Pauline, thanks for asking.
You can definitely use them with your group. The cards were designed to use with families, partners, friends and health care professionals. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Please keep me posted. julie
