Bipolar Hope: The Bipolar Support Group for Northern Virginia

 
B ipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, affects millions of Americans. The disorder has a significant impact on those who suffer from the illness. Different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through, the symptoms of bipolar disorder are severe, and they often leave individuals reeling, searching for solutions from theraptists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. Support groups provide an opportunity for those with bipolar disorder to learn from others who have walked in their shoes, had similar experiences, felt the same emotions and gone through similar trials.

Our support groups provide individuals with the opportunity to share and grow from each other in a safe, confidential and welcoming environment.

The Teen Bipolar Support Group is DBSA-Northern Virginia's newest group.

The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance of Northern Virginia is looking for responsible adults to facilitate a new support group for teenagers with bipolar disorder. This is a chance for individuals with bipolar disorder to give back to the community by helping younger people suffering with the same illness. The new peer-led support group will combine round-table discussions with some educational activities.   We are looking for someone to co-facilitate meetings, as well as substitutes to fill in when needed. All facilitators will be trained. Facilitators must be:     Over 18 Diagnosed with bipolar disorder Able to connect with teenagers and establish a professional relationship with them Contact: teens@dbsanova.org or (703) 349-0944 Teen Facilitator Flyer
