About This Year’s Conference

Nationally renowned Dr. Jane Mountain, who has authored two best-selling books, is this year’s keynote speaker. As a person diagnosed with bipolar disorder and as a doctor who understands it medically, she tells her story with humor and candor, sharing her struggles, hopes, and successes through the course of a life filled quite literally with “peaks and valleys.”

Conference History

Twelve years ago, Erik Cogswell, a young man from New Castle and Barrington, NH, took his life after suffering from the potentially crippling illness of bipolar disorder. In his memory, his family helped establish the conference to educate, support and provide hope to those living with bipolar disorder as well as their families, friends, and the general community. Since that time, the scope of the conference has grown to include people with all mental illnesses.
