Caring for someone with BPD can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. Our structured, weekly, online course are designed to help you feel more confident, informed, and supported. Each week, you’ll explore practical tools, expert insights, and evidence-based strategies drawn from therapies like DBT and Mentalisation, with a strong focus on your own wellbeing as a carer. Whether you’re a parent, partner, sibling, or friend, this course offers a compassionate space to learn, connect, and regain hope.
Our courses are designed by people who truly understand what you’re going through—parents, siblings, and partners who have supported loved ones with Borderline Personality Disorder. We’ve brought together everything we wish we’d known earlier: clear guidance, emotional support, and practical strategies that actually help. You won’t find medical jargon or judgement here—just real experience, honesty, and tools that make a difference.

Caring for someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is not like any other kind of caring. It’s a rollercoaster of intense emotions, unpredictable behaviour, and constant worry. You might be feeling exhausted, confused, or even hopeless at times—and you’re not alone.
This 8-week course is a lifeline for carers like you. Whether you’re a parent, sibling, partner, or close friend, you’ll find a safe, supportive space to learn, reflect, and rebuild your strength. The course has been designed by carers, for carers, drawing directly from lived experience. There’s no clinical jargon and no judgement—just practical tools, emotional insight, and the support you need to survive and thrive.
Each week, we focus on a key theme that matters to carers: understanding BPD, navigating crisis moments, setting boundaries, managing guilt, coping with anger, handling rejection, and—most importantly—caring for yourself. The course blends personal stories, practical exercises, group discussions (optional), and downloadable tools to help you make real change.
You’ll learn how to:
Whether your loved one is in treatment or refusing help, this course will meet you where you are. It’s not about fixing them—it’s about helping you cope, feel stronger, and make decisions with clarity and compassion.
Join us for 8 weeks that could change the way you care—and the way you live.
This advanced 6-week course builds on the foundations of our 8-week carer programme and is designed for those ready to go deeper. If you’ve started to find your footing as a carer and want to strengthen your relationships while maintaining your own emotional balance, this course is your next step.
At its heart is the concept of mentalisation—the ability to understand your own thoughts, feelings, and intentions, as well as those of others. For carers of people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), mentalisation can be life-changing. It offers a way to stay grounded, reduce conflict, and build more meaningful, stable connections with your loved one—even during difficult moments.
Throughout the course, we’ll explore how to interpret behaviour without jumping to conclusions, how to stay curious instead of reactive, and how to navigate intense relational dynamics with calm and clarity. We’ll also look at how your own experiences, history, and emotions shape your reactions—and how to work with that, not against it.
You’ll learn how to:
This course blends short readings, guided reflection exercises, real-life scenarios, and optional group discussion. While it draws from the therapeutic framework of Mentalisation-Based Treatment (MBT), it’s designed to be accessible, practical, and grounded in everyday family life.
If you’re ready to stop just surviving and start reconnecting, this course offers a path forward—based on understanding, not fixing.
