World Bipolar Day | Blowing Bubbles for Bipolar!

On 30th March 2026, our team would like to honour World Bipolar Day for the year 2026 by joining the “Blow Bubbles for Bipolar” initiative. This activity focusses on spreading the good news that Bipolar can be successfully managed for the 568,000+ Australians affected.

Bubbles are used to represent people affected by Bipolar; when a person becomes manic, they are often described as “bubbly”. When the bubbles crash back down to the ground, this represents the depressive phase of the condition.

We love doing our bit to spread knowledge and awareness of the wide-spread experience of mental health in all its forms and had a ball putting together this year’s Blowing Bubbles for Bipolar video with the team across the Northern Territory.

If you’ve ever wondered how to learn better, remember more, stay focused, or simply think more clearly, John Medina’s 12 Brain Rules offer timeless insights backed by neuroscience.

But here’s the big question: Do these rules still hold up today?
Absolutely.
New peer‑reviewed research (2023+) continues to validate the core principles behind each rule, from memory and attention to sleep and stress.

🧠 What each Brain Rule means
🔬 What recent science says about it
🎥 Short video links explaining each rule
💡 How you can apply them to daily life, work, and learning

Whether you’re a leader, educator, parent, or simply brain‑curious, this guide helps you understand why these rules matter and how to use them to think, learn, and live better.

Read the full blog on our website to explore all 12 rules and why they remain more relevant than ever.

Helpful Tips From the EASA Team | EASA Inc.

We understand that, often, the tools and tricks you learn in your counselling sessions may be overwhelming or difficult to remember.

Additionally, it can sometimes be tricky to know where to start with your sessions. You may know that you are feeling badly or struggling day to day, but it may not be clear to you why this is.

For this reason, out team of qualified clinicians have put together a catalogue of educational and instructional tip sheets to help guide you through different areas of daily mental health and wellbeing.
