Marcy Rubin’s Experience

Group Leader, Coach & Facilitator

Bipolar-United

(Mental Health Care industry)

July 2009 — Present (6 months)

Bipolar-United is a Free Support Group facilitated by Marcy Rubin (diagnosed with bipolar) & Kathleen Hennessey-Buchanan (spouse of a man diagnoses Bipolar & PTSD). Both Marcy & Kathleen are Certified Life Coaches, experienced in public speaking, private & group coaching, hosting seminars and facilitating events.

The purpose and goal for Bipolar-United is to bring the afflicted and affected together live, from the comfort of home, to share knowledge, issues and be a safe community of unconditional support.

The conversation begins at 8:00 pm on the first Tuesday of each month via a live telephone conference line. Preplanned topics regarding issues in the bipolar community are opened for group discussion. Members are encouraged to speak up and share information, tips, resources, stories and support.

The group is a combination, but not limited to, sufferers, family, friends, spouses, caregivers, coworkers, employers, volunteers and advocates. Sharing the variety of unique views helps educate others in return opens up new lines for communication.

Access to the calls is restricted to members only. We honor confidentiality emails are never shared. During live calls we use first names only. We ask participants to send questions in advance so we can do our best to have them addressed during the live call. Soliciting personal information, shouting or disrespecting others is strictly prohibited.

Note: Although Marcy & Kathleen do offer private for fee services they ask participants to make requests for coaching information through their individual websites.
