Our understanding of bipolar has changed dramatically in just the last few years.
It’s not just “mania and depression” but a spectrum of mood problems deeply impacted by trauma, stress, lifestyle, and identity.
And these new findings are making diagnosis and treatment more accurate, timely, and tailored than ever before.
That’s why we’re offering this NEW one day training with bipolar expert Jim Phelps, MD author of A Spectrum Approach to Mood Disorders.
In just one day he’ll get you up to speed on recent advances PLUS show you everything you need to:
If you work with clients with depression, anxiety or trauma – today we know that some of them are actually living with an under-recognized form of bipolar disorders.
Don’t risk missing the signs or relying on outdated approaches.
Join Dr. Phelps and walk away with the clarity, confidence, and skills you need to transform outcomes for clients living with bipolar disorder.
