Aubrey Good: International Bipolar Foundation, World Bipolar Day, and #BIPOLARSTRONG

Summary: In this episode of Waking Up Bipolar, Chris Cole speaks with Aubrey Good—Program Coordinator for the International Bipolar Foundation. Aubrey was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 18, and she hopes to use her experiences and knowledge to help bring awareness and education about bipolar disorder. Aubrey is particularly passionate about mental health reform in the criminal justice system and underserved communities. Her background in the United States military also motivates her to break down the stigma of mental illness and advocate for better care within the armed forces and veteran communities. As you’ll hear, Aubrey Good has a big heart for bipolar advocacy, as well as a great deal of compassion for the whole of humanity. She is #BIPOLARSTRONG, and I am stronger knowing she is doing good in this world of ours in need of so much goodness.   Check out the International Bipolar Foundation at http://ibpf.org/  Submit your own #BIPOLARSTRONG videos and images here: http://www.ibpf.org/webform/world-bipolar-day Follow the International Bipolar Foundation on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InternationalBipolarFoundation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/intlbipolar/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/IntlBipolar JOIN THE DISCUSSION at https://www.facebook.com/groups/wakingupbipolar Chris Cole hosts the Waking Up Bipolar podcast, focused on the intersection of bipolar disorder and spiritual awakening.
