Petition for more funded visits for complex mental health conditions
The Australian BPD Foundation have a petition to increase Medicare-funded visits for BPD and other complex mental health conditions.
You can support them by signing the petition online.
People don’t always need advice.
Sometimes all they really need is
a hand to hold,
an ear to listen
and a heart to understand them.

Sanctuary Support Group
gratefully acknowledges ongoing
support from Skylight
Sanctuary is a support group for anyone who cares for a family member or friend who has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, or BPD.
Sanctuary is a safe haven, where carers are welcomed and receive support to cope with this serious illness, which often causes much trauma for both carers and those diagnosed with BPD.
It is a place to talk about the impact of this illness, to learn coping skills from other carers, as well as professionals, and to learn about the illness and its treatment.
It is a Sanctuary in name and nature, where carers will no longer feel so isolated and alone.
Sanctuary meets on the second Tuesday of the month, from 4.30pm to 6.30pm at Skylight, 5 Cooke Tce, Wayville, South Australia
New members are welcome
We appreciate a gold coin donation to cover incidentals.
