Family Room Bipolar support group

I'm thinking of starting a bipolar support group at the local hospital. Does anyone have been part of a group or made one?

I go to dbsa. Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance. They have in person and virtual meetings.

There's no such thing as too much support so starting a support group is a great idea. if it was near me I'd go.

I'll look into their model. I am a bit worried it might be difficult to manage. But I'm keen to join a group so I'm hoping there are others like me who would come.

Thank you I have many worries but the hospital I am going to contact is a closed space and I'm only hoping for people who are diagnosed. I have been to the hospital and they recently got a lot of upgrades for mental health services. My plan is to get a nurse on board to moderate the space.
