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

COVID-19パンデミックの際に双極性障害に冒された人々を助けるために開発された小冊子がオーストラリア全土で利用できるようになりました。

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

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.

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.
