Bipolar Scotland is a mental health charity operating throughout Scotland. We support people affected by bipolar disorder by providing self help support at individual and group levels. Our activities include supporting a network of self help groups, delivering condition specific self management training and promoting awareness of the condition and the organisation. We are currently developing exciting new partnership working projects and work closely with other organisations in the mental health sector. We have recently widened our volunteer base and include group facilitators, trainers, directors, digital, admin and media. We are a small team and working to complement each other’s skills and abilities is vital.
