The Organization for Bipolar Affective Disorders (OBAD) is a non-profit organization promoting mental wellness through peer support and community education.
Mental illness affects how you think about yourself, relate to others, and interact with the world. We believe that community support by individuals with lived experience is essential for wellness and recovery and that knowledge and self-expression develop self-awareness and build esteem.
