Borderline Personality Disorder: Mental Health Professionals,
Community Organizations and Families Working Together

December 1, 2006
Douglas Hospital, Montreal


Sponsored by:

McGill University Health Center

In cooperation with:

National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder

Conference Objectives:

This conference will provide a unique opportunity for partners from the mental health sector to come together to hear BPD experts present results of research, clinical and organizational models, family program and family experiences. The meeting will also allow professionals, members of diverse community organizations, users and family members to discuss the availability of services at a time of transition to community-based care in health and social services. We also hope that this conference will help develop networks between our two linguistic communities.
