Mental Illness Journey is a dynamic exploration into the world of living with bipolar disorder, facilitated by Phil Nield, a diagnosed bipolar sufferer since 2010. Phil is a highly effective educator with over 30 years’ experience as a secondary teacher in the area of Health and Physical Education.
Following a sequence of stressful events in 2009 Phil fell into deep depression which robbed him of a year of his life. Subsequently he struggled with an ongoing battle with managing Bipolar II Disorder.
Phil reflects on his personal story with engaging anecdotes of diverse experiences, some which have changed his life forever. Through insightful observations, Phil engages his audience and promotes a positive approach to maintaining good health and wellbeing.
A series of seminars and online webinars provide the opportunity for participants to consider a personal perspective on navigating: onset, diagnosis, and management of bipolar disorders. Depression, mania and anxiety have the potential to significantly impact family and friends, the workplace, and life in general.

Bipolar Australia, is a national not-for-profit organisation representing everyone affected by bipolar disorder. It is the go-to organisation to tap into a wealth of accurate information, relevant and supportive resources, and much more. Use the website to increase your ability to support yourself and others.
Bipolar Australia’s core initiative is Blow Bubbles for Bipolar, which gives everyone affected by the condition a fun and easy activity that can be used to celebrate the occasion with colleagues, friends, and family. We chose bubbles because people with bipolar who become manic are often described as “bubbly” personalities, while watching the bubbles crash back down represents the depressive phase of the condition. The recovery journey that people embark upon when they get help is symbolised by the rainbow that can be seen when a group blows enough bubbles together.
