Participants allocated to the treatment condition attend an 8-week well-being planning group telehealth-delivered program (via zoom). Each session lasts approximate 1.5 hours and is conducted once a week. Maximum group size is 10 participants.
The program contains elements of cognitive behaviour therapy, psychoeducation about bipolar disorder, stigma and coping and is delivered by a registered psychologist. Each week the content covered relates to a different section of the well-being plan, with participants required to complete a section of their plan each week as homework. The completed well-being plan is then submitted at the end of the program. Session attendance is marked each week on a checklist.
