Education & Training

Bipolar Disorder

‘Psychoeducation’ for bipolar disorder is an approach that helps people to understand the illness, learn to recognise early warning signs of highs and lows and develop the skills needed to stay as well as possible. There is evidence that psychoeducation works and we believe it should be widely available.
 
Funding from the Big Lottery allowed us to develop and deliver psychoeducation in two main ways – through group sessions and online interactive modules.
 

Bipolar Education Programme – Cymru

This offers a group educational programme over ten sessions. Each two hour session consists of a combination of presentations, group discussions and exercises.
