Organizations

Overview

Through all of our outreach efforts, Bipolar Advantage makes every attempt to interact with mental health organizations in many different ways. Our role in the field of mental health is seen by many as inspirational, groundbreaking, and well beyond the status quo. We change the way people with mental conditions see themselves. Mental Health professionals recognize the truth and logic that Bipolar Advantage offers them in forging new models of treatment.

Resources for Members

Members of Mental Health organizations may be taking classes with NAMI, MHA, County Government Agencies and other organizations, but Bipolar Advantage Programs offer them something unique that will augment all of the resources that other organizations offer. We hope members will refer each other to the Bipolar Advantage programs. Our outreach efforts and workshops will contribute in a positive way to everything members do to learn about Mental Health.

We also offer discounts for your members who attend our regular workshops.

We have assembled some of the top experts in their fields creating a first rate series of workshops for understanding and thriving with mood disorders or conditions like depression and bipolar. Bipolar In Order is for those with depression and bipolar, but is attended with great benefit by those with other conditions, friends and family, and professionals. It is considered the foundation of our workshop series.

Other workshops include, Relationships, Spirituality, Psychiatry, Mind Skills, Addictions, and Life Planning. Descriptions of all of our workshops can be found in the education section.

Although the educational workshops can be taken separately, the combination of them all provides a necessary base of knowledge as well as a shift in thinking that leads to success. Upcoming workshops are listed in our Calendar of Events. For a full description of the workshops please click here.
