Raising Awareness Around Personality Disorder & Recovery

“People who have a personality disorder, may find that their beliefs and attitudes are different from others. Their patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving are more difficult to change and they will have a more limited range of emotions, attitudes and behaviours with which to cope with everyday life. This can make things difficult for them or for other people.” (Mind)

This course will help you to understand personality disorder better and provide you with practical advice to help manage the condition and feel more equipped to support yourself and others to achieve greater emotional wellbeing.

By the end of the course, you will:

  • Know what personality disorder is and the different types of personality disorder
  • Look at the different thoughts, emotions, and behaviours displayed by people with personality disorder
  • Discuss the impact these thoughts, emotions, and behaviours have for individuals and their families and friends
  • Consider some of the life experiences which may affect personality development
  • Understand the coping mechanisms that people with personality disorder may use
  • Consider your own emotional responses to people with personality disorder and how these responses may affect others
  • Consider some of the challenges to accessing support for individuals and families and carers
  • Explore different ways to wellbeing that can support people through their recovery journey.
