25.01.2022 Today is the start of Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Week. This year's campaign, 'Flipping the Script: Changing the Narrative on BPD' aims to change the way we think and talk about borderline personality disorder. It encourages people living with BPD to be mindful of the way they think about themselves, allow others to see their challenges, move towards strengths-based self-talk and to celebrate their strengths. It also challenges families, supporters and people wo...rking with those living with BPD to change the way they speak and write about people living with BPD, to encourage and promote the individual’s strengths, reframe their challenges into strengths-based language, educate themselves by accessing new research, and amplify the voice of lived experience.

25.01.2022 In coming weeks we will be announcing more information on how to apply for our scholarships to study Certificate IV in Mental Health Peer Work for FREE with you...r chosen provider! You can start looking into this now by contacting training organisations that offer this qualification, find out about your eligibility and availability for enrollment in late 2020/early 2021 and the exact course costs (after any subsidies have been applied). Then, when we announce applications are open you will be ready! Based on last year's application process, we anticipate approximately 12 scholarships will be provided to consumers and carers. Those who were successful last time had undertaken this research thoroughly so we encourage you to start now.
