Have a look at the EUFAMI site, eufami.org/

European Federation of Associations of Families of People with Mental Illness

Look up NAMI - National Alliance on Mental Illness, if you are in the United States.

They have different chapters with support groups for all mental illness, and specifically Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia. Good luck!
