What do you do when you want to express your needs, maintain a relationship, and respect yourself — all at the same time? For many people impacted by borderline personality disorder (BPD), communication can feel emotionally overwhelming, especially during moments of conflict or misunderstanding. 

In this interactive ChatBPD Skills Edition session, members of our Lived Experience Committee will bring Interpersonal Effectiveness skills to life by sharing honest, real-world perspectives - the skills that help them navigate difficult conversations, ask for what they need, set limits, and strengthen relationships without losing themselves in the process.

You’ll also have the opportunity to submit questions when you register. Whether you’re living with BPD or supporting someone who is, you’ll leave with practical tools, fresh insight, and greater confidence in communicating effectively while building relationships that are both compassionate and sustainable.
