Work and learning

Bipolar UK has made recent changes to our work and learning service, to broaden support to people affected by bipolar both in the workplace, in education or perhaps considering a return to work or study. While we are looking at ways we can offer more support, please do check out our resources below.

As well as the resources below, Bipolar UK can provide training to groups of people, including HR staff and management staff.

Online workplace support

If you are an employer you may find it helpful to refer to our employer guide 

If you are an employee you may find our employee guide a helpful starting point on what support is available in the workplace

Check out Frequently Asked Questions and other resources and real life stories in our Work and Learning blog

Our eCommunity  is also a space where you can receive peer support on employment and a range of other topics.

Volunteer

Volunteering can be a great way to build gaps on your CV and to gain experience in a different role before returning to work.  We would also love to hear from people interested in becoming a telephone volunteer with this service to enable us to provide more support to people affected by work and learning issues.

If you are interested in volunteering with us and sharing your knowledge and experience of bipolar, visit our volunteering page
