Coping with mental illness can be extremely challenging. Where do people in Kenya go when they cannot rely on family, friends, or faith? Maybe because they don’t know how to support you or unfortunately don’t want to?
This group meeting will be the first support group I know of in Kenya for people living with bipolar disorder and PTSD. Caregivers are also welcome because I know it can take a toll on them just as much.
Who am I?
Just someone who’s seen the best (and worst) of both sides. I have been living with bipolar disorder and PTSD for at least 11 years, and I've also been a caregiver to friends and family with critical mental illnesses.
Can we come together and listen to each other? Enjoy some swallowship and share resources that help this journey feel lighter. If that's something you need, would love to be part of, or want to try, our arms are wide open!
NB: The time and announcement are open for now since we've only just begun. We will, however, structure it more intimately and privately with time.
