Demystifying Borderline Personality Disorder: An Educational Workshop by Professionals & People with Lived Experience
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health diagnosis that impacts up to 1.6% of the population. Yet, most people don't know about it. Information about BPD on the internet is often unreliable, due to stigma or misinformation. It is also hard to find trained health care providers to treat BPD.
This can create despair among people and family members who are newly diagnosed. It can be challenging to know where to turn and what to do when one suspects they may have BPD.
