The diagnosis is characterized by pervasive instability in moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image, and behavior, which can effect interactions with social service staff and other clients.

The primary purpose of the training is to help attendees better understand the experience of having this disorder and how to develop interventions that clinically support the client.  Attendees will leave this workshop with a better understanding of Borderline Personality Disorder and skills to assist persons with this disorder move towards recovery.
