Bendigo Bipolar Support Group

Bipolar Life Victoria operates 17 bipolar support groups in Victoria including one at Bendigo.

The Bendigo Bipolar Support Group holds its monthly meetings at the Bendigo Library, Activity room 2, 251 – 259 Hargreaves St, Bendigo 3550. We meet on the 1st Tuesday of each month from 7.00pm to 8.30pm (see  http://bipolarlife.org.au/).

Our members share their personal journey with others in a confidential environment free of scrutiny and judgment. Group members learn to intelligently manage their illness by exchanging advice and supporting other group members.

The purpose of our support group is to provide an opportunity for people living with bipolar disorder to connect with other diagnosed people with similar experiences. Group members gain strength and support from each other, and learn new ways of coping through sharing feelings, knowledge, information and ideas.

Speakers on topics like mental health services or health and well-being are also arranged at regular intervals.

There is no requirement to book, just come along and it’s free. You will be made most welcome. Although there is no requirement to book, it would be really helpful to let us know that you are coming to our support group meeting, especially if this is your first time. This helps us with arranging seating, catering and making you feel welcome.
