Family members make a difference.

Desiring a healthier, more stable relationship? Needing more effective ways to communicate? Trying to get unstuck from patterns that don’t help you or your loved one to feel better? If you are a family member or friend of someone with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD), learning dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can help you to save your relationship.
