Our core initiative is Blow Bubbles for Bipolar, which gives everyone affected by the condition a fun and easy activity that can be used to celebrate the occasion with colleagues, friends, and family. We chose bubbles because people with bipolar who become manic are often described as “bubbly” personalities, while watching the bubbles crash back down represents the depressive phase of the condition. The recovery journey that people embark upon when they get help is symbolised by the rainbow that can be seen when a group blows enough bubbles together.

World Bipolar Day is coming up on March 30th. We at Bipolar Australia thought it would be a great opportunity to do something fun and creative while showing your interest and support for those with bipolar disorder. It is an international initiative to stop the stigma attached to bipolar and acts as a celebration of recovery. The day creates a space for discussion and awareness surrounding bipolar disorders. As such, we would like to invite you to participate in our Bipolar Bubbles Challenge!
