What is this course?

Our Essentials course is an opportunity for people living with bipolar in Scotland to come together in a small, supportive online group to explore what self-management looks like, and how it can help you stay well and feel more in control.

Designed by people with lived experience, the course is grounded in real-life insight, not just theory.

Delivered across four 2-hour online sessions, it will help you develop a deeper understanding of your own experiences and build practical tools that work for you.

What will we cover?

Together, we’ll explore:

• Understanding your triggers and early warning signs
• Acceptance and self-compassion
• Mood monitoring and recognising patterns
• The role of sleep, food and daily routines
• Preparing for the future and staying well

The course is about supporting you to take an active role in your wellbeing, at your own pace and in your own way.
