About Swings & Roundabouts,
"Swings and Roundabouts" are a group of five volunteers who came together to make Insight in Mind with the aim of raising awareness of how it feels to experience bipolar disorder or depression, based on their collective experiences of "mental illness".
Of the five group members two have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, one other is a user of mental health services, one has experience as a carer, and one member works within the mental health services.
The original group, was brought together to make the video and booklet. The development of the DVD and online resources has continued with input from some members of Swings and Roundabouts as well as new and past contributors to the project.
