The Family Connections™ – BPD/Emotional Deregulation program is a free support program dedicated to people who have a relationship with a person affected by borderline personality disorder (BPD), who show BPD traits, or who struggle with chronic and severe emotional deregulation, experiencing addictions, relationship disorders and impulsivity, engaging in self-harm and suicide attempts.
Accompanying a loved one who is struggling with such great suffering is a huge challenge. It is a life of tension, full of fears about whether my loved one will hurt themselves, or hurt me with words. It is a constant dilemma about what to say, what to do so as not to worsen the situation.
Family Connections™
The primary goals of the Family Connections™ Program include:
-
Education: Providing professional knowledge about BPD, emotional dysregulation, and the mechanisms associated with these disorders.
-
Skills: Acquiring specific skills to accompany a person/teenager/child/partner in crises and to cope with difficult emotions and situations. Developing new, more effective ways of responding.
-
Support: Help in regaining balance and reducing the feeling of emotional, mental and physical burden.
Data from studies of previous groups show that after completing the programme, family members experience a decrease in their feelings of depression, burden and sadness, and an increase in their empathy, sense of competence and self-efficacy.
Family Connections™ training at CKU is conducted by specialists working in the field of mental health care (psychologist, educator, psychotherapist) who took part in the Family Connections leaders training.
CKU runs the FC™ programme in Polish in Ireland, in partnership with PTDBT and NEABPD.
