Her aim is to reduce the stigma and  mystery surrounding Bipolar Affective Disorder (manic depression). At  present, Suzanne is running workshops to facilitate difficult  conversations concerning depression, mania, self- harming and suicide,  in addition to bespoke workshops on stress management, team and community building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The  DVD is aimed at sufferers and their families or support people;
