About the Session
Recognizing moments on your recovery journey with bipolar disorder where the desire to move forward is present, but the path itself feels unclear? Walk with someone who’s been there.
For individuals seeking support with daily bipolar disorder self-management
Length: 1 hour // Offered in ENGLISH OR FRENCH

Living well with bipolar disorder is possible — and it takes routine and commitment to do it. This diagnosis is not a sentence — it is an open door to choosing to do things differently.
This is where we can join you and walk by your side to help you develop awareness around your needs, creating new sustainable habits and coming back to yourself, the self you always knew you were.
Let’s co-create in ways that support you to build a life that uplifts you.
Joëlle offers a peer-support approach, grounded in their 15 years of lived experience with bipolar II disorder recovery. Together we can explore:
daily mental health mood charting
recognizing symptoms + patterns for suppport in episode prevention
sober living and recovery
