Say Know to Bipolar
A 3-part psychoeducation series
For people living with bipolar disorder — grounded in evidence, led by people who know it from the inside.
About
Say Know to Bipolar
is a 3-part psychoeducation course for people living with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder — whether you're newly diagnosed or have been navigating your condition for years. Each session combines evidence-based knowledge with interactive discussion and practical strategies, giving you a language for what you've been experiencing and tools you can actually use.
What makes this course different is what it brings together. Say Know to Bipolar is facilitated by people who hold both lived experience of bipolar disorder and clinical expertise — because understanding a condition from the inside changes how it gets taught. Participants commit to all three sessions, because the learning builds — and so does the trust in the room.
Who this course was designed for
Say Know to Bipolar was designed for people living with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder — at any stage of their journey.
-
Newly diagnosed individuals looking to make sense of what bipolar disorder means for their life
-
People who have been managing their condition for some time and want to deepen their understanding or find new strategies
-
Anyone in the middle of their diagnosis — still figuring things out, looking for language, or ready to learn something new
If someone you know is living with bipolar disorder and you think this might help them, feel free to point them here.
How Say Know to Bipolar Began
For many people living with bipolar disorder, the diagnosis comes with information — but not always understanding. There's a difference.
Say Know to Bipolar grew from that gap. The programme was originally co-created for a single peer — someone considered "treatment-resistant" despite being compliant with medical treatment. What emerged from that process was something worth sharing more widely: psychoeducation that doesn't just explain bipolar disorder, but makes it legible from the inside.
Adapted with permission from the internationally recognised work of Dr. Eduard Vieta and Dr. Francesc Colom, and grounded in over 20 years of lived experience with bipolar disorder, Say Know to Bipolar was developed by Dr. Faith Wong as a ground-up initiative — and brought to the broader community in partnership with SOAR. Because the knowledge that helps one person navigate their condition might be exactly what someone else has been looking for.
What this course sets out to do
Say Know to Bipolar is designed to move participants from diagnosis to understanding — and from understanding to something they can actually do with it.

Develop practical strategies for managing the condition — from treatment adherence to early warning signs
-
Explore lifestyle factors that support stability — including habits, stress reduction, and problem-solving
-
Leave with a personal action plan — concrete, self-directed, and built around your own life
