I am very pleased that the Commission has had the opportunity to invest in such a positive recovery resource. This booklet challenges the myths and stigma about bipolar disorder head on and will be a valuable resource for families and carers across New South Wales and Australia.

Coming Home with Bipolar’ focuses on the information and skills that Carers need to help people with bipolar starting their recovery journey. “Giving Carers the information they need about Bipolar reduces the risk of hospitalisation for people with the condition. Providing the ‘Coming Home with Bipolar’ resource to a person’s Family or Carer immediately after they are diagnosed will help the person’s recovery, minimize family and carer stress and fear of the unknown.
"
– Executive Director Susana Bluwol

The booklet’s launch underscored the importance of helping Families and Carers to support people with severe and persistent mental health conditions such as Bipolar. The average time between the onset of bipolar symptoms and proper diagnosis is over 9 years. Helping every Carer to understand how the condition has affected the person they care for during this period is a crucial first step in the journey towards recovery

Quedarse en casa con Bipolar
Un folleto desarrollado para ayudar a las personas afectadas por el trastorno bipolar durante la pandemia de COVID-19 ya está disponible para su uso en toda Australia.
"Quedarse en casa con Bipolar: información para la emergencia del coronavirus" fue producido por Bipolar Australia con fondos donados por MAX Foundation , la fundación benéfica de uno de los proveedores de servicios de empleo más grandes de Australia, MAX Solutions. El folleto de 16 páginas brinda ideas y recursos para ayudar a las personas que viven con trastorno bipolar, incluidas las familias y los cuidadores, a enfrentar de manera más efectiva los cambios sociales que se han introducido para reducir el impacto del virus, como el distanciamiento físico y el trabajo desde casa.
"
The project was part of Bipolar Australia’s ongoing commitment to support all Australians impacted by bipolar. Many people are feeling isolated and anxious because of the need to stay at home. The ‘Staying Home with Bipolar’ resource will give Australians with lived experience of bipolar and their families tips and tools that they can use to continue successfully managing the condition while minimising the impact of COVID-19

– Executive Director Susana Bluwol

The guide was an example of the positive impact that the organisation’s charitable foundation delivers through employee contributions and matched company donations. I am very pleased that the MAX Foundation has been able to assist the 598,000 Australians with bipolar disorder during this difficult time. Our organisation supports many customers who have complex mental health conditions, such as bipolar, and we look forward to sharing this guide in the communities we work with.
"
– MAX Solutions Managing Director Deborah Homewood
"
Reducing the impact of the recent social and economic changes on people living with bipolar would ensure that more health system resources are available to support patients affected by COVID-19. We encourage every person with bipolar to read this short guide, and to take steps that can reduce their risk of becoming unwell. When we all work together to improve the wellbeing of Australians with bipolar, we are also helping those who will be seriously affected by the coronavirus over the coming months.

– Bipolar Australia Board of Directors Chair, Scientia Professor Philip Mitchell AM
