Living Life Well – BPD Awareness Week 2024
This week is BPD Awareness Week and the theme is Living Life Well - Recovery and BPD. Professor Brin Grenyer has a helpful and encouraging message for us.
Calling for Help – Ambulance? Police?
Have you ever had times when the person you care for has been so dysregulated that you worried for their safety, or yours? Did you wonder if you might need to call for an ambulance or the police? Two Mental Health Co-Responders were our guests in August.
Alcohol and Other Drugs
Living with Borderline Personality Disorder is painful and difficult – many turn to alcohol and other drugs in an attempt to cope. When addiction is added to the burden of illness, the cycle is very difficult to break
Occupational Therapy
Savannah Zielonka told us about Occupational Therapy and how it can help people who live with BPD.
Getting help in a mental health crisis (UMHCC)
For South Australians, Adelaide has an alternative to a Hospital Emergency Department in a mental health crisis. Call (08) 8448 9100 or ask the ambulance to take you there.
Carers have Rights
Carers have rights in the South Australian Health system. When things aren’t going the way we think they need to go, what can we do?
IPS Employment Scheme
The Individual Placement and Support Program (IPS) helps people with mental illness to gain and maintain employment. Evidence shows IPS is far more effective than traditional methods
Assistance for Carers
Mental health carers don't have to do it alone, in South Australia. Help is available.
National Consensus for BPD
It's time that Australians had access to appropriate treatment and support, for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Do you support this call for action?
Family Connections®
For many Sanctuary carers, this was the turning point in their recovery journey, and it's free: Family Connections®, for the family and close friends of those living with BPD.
