As traditional parenting interventions do not necessarily address the needs of individuals with bipolar we are looking at bridging that gap and providing an avenue for effective evidence-based support to be accessible in your own home. </p> <p>Our initial pilot study involving delivery of this online intervention showed significant improvements in both child behaviour and parenting skills. We have since developed this package further and would like you to take part &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>If you have a child between the ages of 3 – 10 years and are interested in participating in this research then please take a look at our website <a href="http://www.ibpi.co.uk" rel="nofollow">http://www.ibpi.co.uk</a> </p> <p>Please contact Beverley Clack for more information;</p> <p>Spectrum Centre for Mental Health Research<br /> Faculty of Health and Medicine<br /> Lancaster University<br /> Lancaster<br /> LA1 4YW</p> <p>Telephone: 01524 594935<br /> Email: <a href="mailto:b.clack@lancaster.ac.uk">b.clack@lancaster.ac.uk</a> </p>
