Key Stakeholders

Equilibrium aims to become the foremost international partnership organisation working to advance the understanding, treatment and deal with the stigma and prejudice around bipolar disorder.

The key partnership holders who have been involved in the establishment of the organisation are:

  • People with bipolar disorder
  • Families and loved ones affected by bipolar disorder
  • Clinicians and health professionals working with people who have bipolar disorder
  • Research and industrial partners seeking to understand causes and develop treatments
  • National Bipolar Advocacy Organisations working with self-management and support.

As our work develops we will be specifically developing projects orintated to each of these stakeholder groups.

International Focus

It also believes that the expeirence of national advocacy organizations can be usefully shared at an international level and seeks to promote this.
