Contact us to register your interest in this training
An Overview
This one day follow-up workshop builds on the introductory workshop of BPD 101 where we looked at Recognising, Understanding and Responding to BPD. It is a chance to offer an in-depth look at your own casework, drawing on the issues in a little more detail.
It is expected that you will be able to recognise the core presentation for BPD (e.g. DSM5 criteria) and you will have a reasonable means of understanding how a person with BPD impacts on you and your team. There will only be a very brief recap of those BPD 101 points, but the focus in this workshop is about ideas for how to respond.
This training is only available to those who have already completed our BPD 101 workshop with Diane Clare. If you have not attended the BPD 101 workshop, you will need to do so before attending this BPD 201. Visit the website or email faye@grow.co.nz for more information.
We also offer the STEPPS™ 2-day Program for Managing Emotional Intensity
Seeking a way to work with BPD/Emotional Intensity? STEPPS™ may be just what you're looking for.
STEPPS™ was originally designed for people with Borderline Personality Disorder, helping them to understand their diagnosis and teaching skills in a group format to manage emotions and change behaviours towards their wellbeing.
Random Controlled Trials indicate it is highly effective in helping people with emotional intensity difficulties including those diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. It can be used individually or in groups and is a practical skills-based approach drawing on cognitive behaviour therapy principles and teaches a range of strategies to assist with emotion regulation in particular.
Visit the website for more information.
Learning Outcomes for BPD 201:
What will this one-day training offer you?
- A brief recap of diagnosis issues and awareness of impact on you and others (recognising and understanding).
- The chance to apply some of the preliminary responding skills to helping your case example. This will again draw on the evidence base such as DBT or STEPPS™. It dips into those models for a few tools and is not a replacement for training in such programs.
- Help you to discuss at least one case example in small groups and main group discussion.
- Get a summary of a treatment plan to take back to apply to your casework with BPD.
Case example preparation for you to bring to the training:
It is important to make sure this is anonymous and get client consent to bring this overview on basis of anonymity for your training and learning needs:
- Context of where the client is being seen (e.g. mental health, ACC funded, NGO).
- About your client: age, gender, culture, location and core presenting issues.
- Safety issues: a summary of any risk issues and how managed.
- Evaluation of your/your team's personal response to this client and what tried, what worked.
Recommended pre-workshop reading
Some additional reading that may be of interest are the UK National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines on self-harm. Although, these are really part of Alternatives to Self-Harm training, for BPD clients this can be a key issue.
Self-harm: assessment, management and preventing recurrence - NICE quality standard on self-harm
