Bipolar UK has adapted the Support Line to provide direct Peer Support, therefore, the service no longer takes live incoming calls but provides the opportunity to leave a message and they will call you back within 3 working days, usually less, alternatively, you can send an email to [email protected].

Information leaflets.  There is a range of useful leaflets available to read online or to download and print.

Support Groups.  Support Groups can be found across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.  Groups are free to attend and are open to all individuals affected by bipolar including those with a diagnosis, that pre-diagnosis, their family members, friends and carers. You don’t need a referral and you don’t have to let us know you’re coming – just turn up!
