Bipolar Edinburgh and Penumbra’s peer workers meet you one-to-one and establish a mutually supportive relationship. They share their personal experience of living with bipolar and recovery intentionally with the aim of inspiring hope.
Bipolar Edinburgh aims to help you take control of your life and help you to build resilience, despite continuing to experience mental health symptoms. Living in recovery means being able to live a good life, as we each define, with or without symptoms. At its heart, recovery involves focusing on what we can do, rather than on what we cannot do.
Peer support complements mental health services provided by the NHS, other agencies and third-sector organisations.
