Help a Great Organization!

CABF (Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation) is one of the best resources for parents raising a child with Bipolar or other Mood Disorders. The support I have found from this site is the only thing that has allowed me to survive so far on this journey. If you haven't heard of them, check it out at bpkids.org. They have forums and online support groups as well as an extensive resource directory, including information you can share with your school to help get the help you and your child need.


They are currently competing to receive a grant from Pepsi to fund more outreach programs to reach more parents in need. See the details below of how you can help. It only takes a couple of minutes a day, and doesn't cost a cent!

CABF is competing for a $250,000 grant from The Pepsi Refresh Project during the month of November. The winners will be decided by popular vote. CABF needs your votes every day this month!


There are over 5 million U.S. youth who live with depression or bipolar disorder. Unfortunately, a very small percentage receive treatment. CABF will use the grant from Pepsi to raise public awareness and help more youth who suffer from depression or bipolar disorder.
