Taking Back Control (PDF) is the evaluation report of the first four Self-Management training courses run in Scotland over the past three years for people who experience Bipolar Disorder. The courses have been delivered as a partnership between MDF, the BiPolar Organisation who provided the training material and facilitators, and Bipolar Fellowship Scotland, who organised the courses, identified and provided support to participants. It is the aim of Bipolar Fellowship Scotland to work towards providing a rolling programme of Self-Management training courses in Scotland. The aim of the Self-Management training course is to teach people how to recognise personal triggers and signs of episodes and manage these effectively at an early stage, thereby preventing a more serious escalation. Course participants not only manage their own condition effectively, but some are trained as future facilitators. The benefits can have a lifelong impact.
