Borderline Personality Disorder Group
This group was originally launched by Hunts Mind and Turning Point in October 2004. This group is now facilitated by Hunts Mind and People of Potential. The membership of the group consists of a mixture of individuals with the diagnosis and their ‘significant other’ who might be their partner, sibling or friend.
The group has three primary aims:
- To provide non judgemental support for each member who is affected by the Borderline Personality Disorder Diagnosis including their ‘significant other’.
- To focus on coping skills and strategies for dealing with difficult feelings and situations. To create a place where people can learn new ideas and develop insight into their diagnosis.
- To enable those who are close to someone with BPD develop their coping skills and strategies for dealing with difficult and situations. To develop a better understanding of the diagnosis and symptoms.
The group meets fortnightly at The Limes from 7.00 to 8.30pm. The first hour is focused on people’s experiences and ideas for coping and the last half hour is a social wind down so that members do not leave the group distressed.
Next meeting dates are:
2010:
- 7th January
- 4th February
- 18th February
- 4th March
- 18th March
- 1st April
