Bipolar Life Victoria offers support groups across Victoria for people with bipolar disorder.


Support groups are great way to offer help to people dealing with bipolar disorder concerns. The groups offer a confidential environment with no scrutiny or judgement.


Research confirms the effectiveness of support groups for carers and people living with bipolar disorder.


In a support group, people are able to talk to other people who truly understand them. Members share the type of insights that can only come from personal lived experience of having bipolar disorder.


You will rarely see the group surprised or shocked by another members story. 


WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY

“I’m thankful for these groups because I always feel better after I go to a meeting.


I was a bit hesitant to go to a group but once I did I was glad I made the effort.


Now I rely on these groups to stay well because it’s too easy to keep to yourself and not let anyone in. Keeping to myself usually brings on a depression for me.”

“I found the group very helpful because it’s good to talk to other people who feel like you feel during a manic episode. As a result I feel less “damaged”.


Now I go to at least one support group a month. It has become a must for my mental health.”

“I feel lucky I found this group because sometimes it seems like none of my friends or family really understand what a mixed mood can be like.”


Before coming to a support group I felt very alone, but I have made some great friends hee and they all understand.


Also support groups can be great fun. Lot’s of laughs!”
