23.01.2022 #Repost @embracingbpd (@get_repost) 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 working 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, re-frame their challenges into strengths-based language, educate themselves by accessing new research, and amplify the voice of lived experience. Embracing BPD invites you to come join our group for some nibbles and refreshments to celebrate all the positive things we are achieving in our space. There will be resources and networking opportunities to be had. There will be limited tickets due to the capacity of the room. This is a FREE event and all people are welcome. 30th of September 2020 6-7:30pm Womens Health and Family Services Northbridge WA LGBTIQA BIPOCand CaLD friendly Please email [email protected] for more information.
