Statement of Need:

BPD is a severe illness and people who suffer from it are underserved. Friends and families are often bewildered and do not know how to help. Treatment programs for those with BPD need to be more readily available. Families need access to programs such as those already developed for several mental illnesses. This one-day seminar provides the opportunity to listen to experts in the field. All presenters have both medical and/or personal knowledge.
Purpose: This one-day seminar provides the opportunity to listen to experts in the field. All presenters have both medical and/or personal knowledge.
