With this project we aim to:
- Consolidate a research consortium to support and externally fund applications for co-designing module interventions for capacity building to manage risk behaviors in daily life for people with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
- Develop a network on risk behavior management in daily life that will provide strategic links with health providers (e.g., NHS), third sector organisations (e.g., Bipolar UK) and other relevant stakeholders.
- Develop knowledge exchange and research strategic initiatives, such as development of resources to support current community support activities.
