Teens 2 Twenties

The ‘Teens2Twenties’ Bipolar Peer Support Group is a place of comfort and understanding before, during and after the highs and lows caused by bipolar disorder become overwhelming. A lead  and a co-facilitator host stigma free conversations with youth about living with a mental illness.  The group is encouraged to share their own stories, concerns, and experiences with each other, to create an environment for healing and self expression.  A key objective of the project is to emphasize each individual’s strengths to empower them to make choices that will better their lives through self care, self-esteem and lifestyle choices.  We create a safe and comfortable place for youth to participate with peers who have bipolar disorder in a 90-minute session per week.  The group is not ‘drop in’ place per se but requires a meeting with the facilitator who seeks a commitment to attend.  We would be grateful to hear from you!  For current group information contact babe@bipolarbabe.com 

Workshop sessions bring together youth who live with bipolar to identify and utilize the resources they need to manage their lives.
