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 5pm to 7pm, Adelaide time (Adelaide, South Australia)
Meetings are on-line while the COVID 19 restrictions are in place.
Please contact us here for instructions about how to join the meeting.
