Every year, we organise a fast paced, workshop, conversation and presentation filled event for a community of interested professionals.
We began developing our Community of Practice in 2016. Our first few events focussed on how we could bring together people working in the field of personality disorder, alongside those with lived experience to build and share knowledge, reflect and continue to improve practice.
We intend to keep growing our community and connecting people by facilitating spaces for a range of perspectives and experiences on topics our members identify as important to them and the field. We will do this by meeting around 3 times each year outside of our annual conference to share thoughtful and reflective thinking, innovation and significant developments to continue our efforts to reduce distress and improve lives. Updates on Community of Practice events will be disseminated via our mailing list and social media.
