No Local Support Group Yet
Back in March, I said I was forming a local Tidewater Area support group for parents of kids with early-onset bipolar disorder. I never got it off the ground, because I saw that there are NAMI support groups here. However, I really wanted to form one associated with CABP because I think that would be much more suited to the specifics of EOBD. Adult-onset bipolar disorder is so different from what our kids experience that I want to be under the CABF umbrella with all of their expertise from which to borrow. I received a survey just recently from CABF asking if I wanted local CABF groups to start forming, and I checked yes of course.
I'd love a support group in my area. We have NAMI and another group for children with behavioral problems but nothing for just bipolar disorder. good luck with this adventure. I should look into it as well.
ReplyDeleteLet's see if I can do this. Do look into the CABF stuff.
