On Tuesday 26th September, we’d like to invite you to join us for a discussion centered around Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) ahead of BPD Awareness Week on 1-7 October 2023. In this discussion, we will be joined by one of our Community Guides and a Special Guest from Spectrum (Specialising in Personality Disorder and Complex Trauma) to talk about the principles of care, the different treatments, stigma, & the therapeutic relationship.
