We’re starting a new project called Momentum Works!

The aim of this initiative is to provide help for people with bipolar in the workplace. We hope to arm people with the skills needed to identify and manage bipolar related challenges at work that could result in an episode of illness.

There will be a wealth of resources available, from mentorships and peer support to workplace support and training, crisis planning and good solid practical advice for those who are employed and also specific guidance for those who are self employed.

If this sounds good to you, then feel free to drop us a line at info@bipolarscotland.org.uk and we’ll get you going.
