Join us as we aim to demystify borderline personality disorder (BPD) with our subject matter experts coming from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
We will be discussing a range of topics including understanding BPD, the impacts of stigma, strengths of living with strong emotions, the various treatment and supports that are available, and how they can help build a life worth living and more!
Hosted by Victoria Maxwell (Lived Experience Strategic Advisor and International Keynote Speaker) we will have 3 expert panelists who bring a diversity of perspectives, including clinical, research, and lived and living experience:
• Laurie Edmundson (Senior Leader, Patient Experience and Community Engagement, BCMHSUS)
• Holly (Lived Experience Partner, BCMHSUS)
• Dr. John Wagner (Director, DBT Centre of Vancouver)
