Service Description
Family Connections is a free 12-week course that meets weekly to provide education, skills training, and support for people who are in a relationship with someone who has BPD, emotion dysregulation or is managing suicidality and trauma recovery. It is hosted in a community setting and led by trained group leaders who are usually family members of relatives with BPD. Dr. Alan Fruzzetti and Dr. Perry Hoffman developed the course based on their research as well as their significant professional expertise in counseling people with BPD and their loved ones. Family Connections provides: current information and research on BPD and emotion dysregulation and on family functioning; individual coping skills based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT); family skills; and group support that builds an ongoing network for family members.
