Headquartered at 1050 Rosecrans Street in Point Loma, San Diego since its 2007 founding, the International Bipolar Foundation is a 501(c)(3) that delivers free educational programs, caregiver resources, and stigma-reduction advocacy to individuals affected by bipolar disorder in more than 150 countries. The Foundation's Lift the Mask documentary screens at hospitals, college campuses, and community organizations, followed by panel discussions that normalize conversation around mood disorders — a public-education approach that complements the clinical outreach of local providers such as Mental Health Systems Inc on the Point Loma peninsula. Healthy Living with Bipolar Disorder, the Foundation's free comprehensive guide, covers medication, nutrition, workplace strategies, pregnancy, aging, and substance-use intersections across country-specific chapters translated into five languages and expanding. A Girl Scout mental-health-awareness patch program teaches scouts at every age level about brain function, media portrayal of mental illness, and local support resources, with patches mailed free upon completion. The Foundation partners with San Diego County's Blue Envelope Program and works alongside community-based wellness organizations such as Kind Mind to ensure that individuals in crisis have communication tools that promote safe law-enforcement interactions. The most clinically intensive initiative is the Foundation's research-funding pipeline, which channels donor contributions into peer-reviewed studies investigating bipolar-disorder treatment, neuroimaging, and pharmacological interventions through its Scientific Advisory Board.
