Experiences of Personality Disorder Collective Advocacy (Much More Than a Label)

Have you:
Been given a diagnosis of a personality disorder?
Had experiences that you feel fit with a personality disorder diagnosis?

Do you want to:
Have your say about the information and support you’ve received?
Try to make changes in the way you are treated or the services provided?
Get in touch and get involved!

What does the Project do?
The aim of the project is for people who have been given a diagnosis of a personality disorder or had experiences that they feel fit with a personality disorder diagnosis to come together, have a collective voice and create change.


The group decides what it wants to do (it is experience-led) and has a CAPS staff member to enable/facilitate its decisions.


Experience required

No particular skills are required but you should have your own lived experience of personality disorder
