On Tuesday, 27th September, we'd like to invite you to join us for a discussion centred around Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) ahead of BPD Awareness Week on 1-7 October. In this discussion, we will be joined by one of our Community Guides and a special guest from Spectrum Health to talk about accessing treatment, stigma and the importance of ‘Seeing The Person’.
