Hi All,
I have noticed that there are some support groups in Sydney for those suffering from Bipolar Disorder, but does anyone know of support groups for family and friends of those with Bipolar Disorder? I would love to attend one.

Hi @OzBra
ARAFMI NSW, which I think @Hobbit is from, is a great organisation to call. They may be able to assist with your question.

Hi @OzBra ,
There are certainly many carer support groups available. You can call ARAFMI's Carer Community Connections Line on 02 9332 0700 and one of our telephone operators will be able to hear your story and provide some referrals for you.
Kind Regards.
Hobbit.
