The Centre for Youth Bipolar Disorder (CYBD) invites you to their annual public education event hosted on World Bipolar Day! This event is open to anyone with an interest in learning more about youth bipolar disorder. A youth patient will share their lived experience, we will hear from Hope + Me, and current research will be presented. The theme of this year's event is "Youth Bipolar: Next Generation" and will focus on offspring of parents with bipolar disorder, the next generation of pharmacological and psychosocial treatments, the next generation of researchers and clinicians, and the future directions for CYBD.
This education event is a reflection of CYBD’s mission and dedication to sharing knowledge and research about youth bipolar disorder, in order to increase awareness, reduce stigma, and to inspire hope.
