bipolar and nami

I was suppose to present to the Nami board tonight but the weather has prevented that. I would like to here from other parents or care givers who have bipolar people . I would like to know if you think a mentoring program would be helpful to you? If you would like that or if not? I will do that is February And I hope that it will help. My goal is to help people and to maybe help my self at the same time. I sometimes get so discouraged that i feel helpless. I think maybe this will be a way of helping people and giving back some.
