Support, Education, and Coping Skills Workshops for Family Members and Significant Others
Borderline Personality Disorder is extremely painful to patients and to those who love them.
We give family members and significant others resources for learning how to 1) change their anger and frustration into empathy, and 2) find helpful responses that reduce stressful interactions and help get their loved one into effective therapy. Each month we provide a workshop that examines the symptoms, treatment, and prognosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. RSVP is not necessary. Periodic 3-day weekend workshops provide guidance in learning the core coping skills.
