Bipolar Education Programme - Referrals and admissions

The Bipolar Disorder Service at St Patrick’s Mental Health Services provides outpatient, day patient, inpatient and aftercare services.

Service users are provided with the appropriate level of care depending on their individual needs.

The Bipolar Education Programme was established over 20 years ago and is unique to the Republic of Ireland. The programme runs for 13 weeks, offering education and support to individuals and their families in the post-acute (middle) phase of recovery. Feedback from service users and best clinical evidence is incorporated into the programme which is coordinated by a clinical nurse specialist with cognitive therapy training.
