You notice things. Nobody taught you what to do with them.
The Bipolar Support Roadmap: a free program, in fifteen languages, for a family member, partner or friend supporting an adult with bipolar disorder.
It isn't out yet. We'll announce it in the newsletter first.

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.

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