The idea of this group will be to encourage people to speak out without fear of judgment, or reproach; to gain empathy and to provide support and comfort to those who suffer from bipolar disorder here in the Triangle. It is also a great way to develop lasting friendships, and to gain a feeling of being part of a community."        ~ Chr …
