About this Event
This two-day workshop will review the current evidence about personality disorders in young people and present a best practice model of early intervention for young people with a personality disorder. It will be helpful for a broad range of mental health practitioners and lived experience workforces who work in area mental health and wellbeing services.
Severe Personality Disorder (or Borderline Personality Disorder, BPD) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, yet clinicians remain cautious and unclear of the rationale for early intervention in this population and find these young people challenging to work with.
At the completion of this two day workshop, you will be able to:
- describe the rationale for early intervention for personality disorder in young people and apply evidence-based early intervention and relational principles.
- apply an evidence-based approach to working with families and friends of young people with personality disorder.
- apply strategies to more effectively work with the challenges that can arise, such as managing interpersonal difficulties, risk and chronic self-harm.
