Balance NZ was successful in gaining
funding from the Department of Internal Affairs to develop our websites to make them friendlier, accessible and up-to-date for all that use them. The Creating HOPE
Project (Health through Online Peer support and Education) commenced in
September 2006 and will run through to February 2008.
People with bipolar disorder or depression are
more at risk of not maintaining the positive social networks that are essential
for health and wellbeing. Peer support is an intentional form of social support
that may help tangata whai ora with psychiatric symptoms as well as assisting their
whanau and communities both to develop new perspectives and to access
information and specific training. Our website project seeks to create an
online community for those affected by bipolar disorder or depression and other forms of mental distress, either as individuals
or families, so that they can readily access peer support.
