This grant allows FSC to develop and disseminate an information pamphlet to help parents of children with bipolar disorder and related mental health problems. The four-page pamphlet will become part of a user-friendly toolkit that will help families understand the symptoms of bipolar disorder in children, its impact on children’s performance at home and in school, how to talk with their child’s school, and where to seek medical and other resources and services in the community.
