Question
What action is the Welsh Government taking to mark World Bipolar Day?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Mental Health and Early Years
World Bipolar Day, which is on 30th March, encourages understanding about bipolar and aims to banish stigma. The Welsh Government welcomes the opportunity to raise awareness around this condition and are aware that there will be a number of activities throughout the day, supported by Bipolar UK. Where the Welsh Government can continue to highlight this important work, we will do so. The draft Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy, which is out for consultation until the 11 June, provides further detail on our proposed actions to support people with mental health conditions, and we encourage people to respond to this consultation so their views can inform our work.
