Bipolar UK Support Group (Croydon): Free Wellbeing & Mental Health Service in Croydon

## What is the Bipolar UK Support Group? The Croydon Bipolar UK Support Group is a peer support group for anyone affected by bipolar in Croydon and the surrounding London area. As part of Bipolar UK's nationwide network, it provides a safe space for people to connect with others who understand the unique challenges of living with or supporting someone with bipolar disorder. The group is facilitated as part of Bipolar UK's structured peer support programme. Meetings provide an opportunity for peer connection, shared experiences, and mutual support in a welcoming environment. There's no pressure to share - you can simply listen if you prefer. ## Who Can Use the Bipolar UK Support Group? The group welcomes both people who have a bipolar diagnosis and those who support loved ones with the condition, such as family members, partners, and friends. You don't need a formal diagnosis to attend - if you're affected by bipolar in any way, you're welcome. The group is for adults and is held in person, so you'll need to be able to attend in Central Croydon. ## How Do I Access the Bipolar UK Support Group?
