BPhoenix History:

Over the past 6 years, BPhoenix has grown into a large website with more than 250 pages - with new pages being added every day. What originally began as a place to find information on bipolar disorder has now grown to include information on many other mental health disorders as well. Most of these disorders often co-exist with bipolar disorder, and therefore are a necessary addition to the BPhoenix community.

BPhoenix also now has 6 message boards and 14 support groups. Some of the support group members are active on the website as well, submitting tips and advice to readers and suggesting new page ideas. At this time I am the only author of the content on the site (unless otherwise specified), but I hope that will change in the future as more and more members get involved.

If *you* would like to get involved and contribute in some way to this website, please email and let me know.

BPhoenix Mission:

- To provide valuable and accurate information on bipolar and other mental health disorders to the public

- To educate the public on mental illness and to fight the stigma associated with it

- To advocate for the rights of patients, and encourage others to do the same

- To provide support forums that are safe and accepting, and that respect at all times the rights of all people, regardless of gender, age, religious or political beliefs, sexual orientation, employment status, disability (whether physical or mental), marital status, or nationality
