CYBD’s World Bipolar Day Public Education Event 2024

The Centre for Youth Bipolar Disorder invites you to their annual public education event hosted on March 28th, 2024! This free 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 "Truth and Dare." For truth, we have invited presenters to share their candid appraisal of the field as it stands, including progress, controversies, and limitations. For dare, we invited presenters to inspire attendees by sharing their vision of how to accelerate progress, push the limits, and move the proverbial needle.
