Video Conferences: Bipolar Disorder
Siblings with a Mission helps siblings connect with others through video conferences. Video conferences are hosted on our video platform. Support group leaders moderate and monitor video conferences and answer questions, so feel free to ask questions and share your story!
After joining Siblings with a Mission, members receive a link to the video platform and the Video Recordings page. Support group leaders schedule video sessions with members in their specific special needs group. Everyone is encouraged to participate, but we understand if some members are uncomfortable with doing. You can always join and listen!
Video sessions typically begin with members introducing themselves and sharing a story. Everyone is encouraged to share their story and advice and ask questions. Here are some questions that are typically answered in video sessions:
a. How do I explain my sibling’s disability to my friends and family?
b. What should I do when people stare at my sibling?
c. How can I concentrate on my work if my sibling makes a lot of noise and requires a lot of attention?
d. Why do my parents spend more time with my sibling with a disability than they do with me?
e. How should I deal with my emotions of anger, jealousy, and embarrassment?
f. How can I have more privacy when my sibling requires a therapist, aid, or nurse at the house?
g. What should I do when my sibling goes to the hospital?
We understand that many members may not have access to a video camera, so this is why the video sessions are recorded and posted on a private, log-in page linked below. If you are in a video session and you don't feel comfortable with being recorded, make sure to tell the support group leader.
