Become a Member of
Bipolar Support Canterbury

You do not have to be a member of Bipolar Support Canterbury to attend our meetings or any of the support groups; however, we depend on and value your membership, and your donations enable us to continue to be there for others. They also give us an indication of your support. Members receive 4 newsletters a year which inform you of up and coming meetings, courses and provide other general information.  Members automatically become borrowers at the MHERC (Mental Health Education Resource Centre) library, where books and DVDs are loaned free of charge to those living in Christchurch.

Become a Volunter
Bipolar Support Canterbury exists today because of the passion and commitment of many different people who since 1983 have voluntarily given of themselves. While we now employ a small number of people we still rely on volunteers in roles such as Board Members, peer facilitators of support groups and production of our newsletter. To all those people who have volunteered for us, both now and in the past, thank you!

If you are interested in volunteering for us, we would love to talk with you. Please contact us today.
