What it will help with

Nineteen short lessons, each with one worksheet. They go in the order things tend to happen:

  • Understanding what you see, without watching every move.
  • Helping without taking over: with treatment, with sleep, with alcohol or cannabis.
  • Noticing when an episode may be starting, and what to do first.
  • Talking during conflict, and when to pause the argument.
  • A crisis plan made before you need it, with two routes.
  • Limits, children and rebuilding trust.
  • Looking after yourself, so you can keep going.

How it will work

One short video and one worksheet per lesson.Each worksheet adds a page to your Living Family Support Plan: your role, your agreements, your sources of support.

A two-minute route in every lesson,for the weeks when that is all you have.

Built with the person you support, not around them.The Roadmap asks before stepping in, and treats a “no” as an answer.

Free, like the Bipolar Stability Program.No paid version, no account.

It is not therapy and not a crisis service.

If you have bipolar disorder yourself

The Roadmap is for the people around you. The Bipolar Stability Program is for you, and it is already here.
