Carers Sanctuary

Come to a safe space where you are surrounded by people who understand what you are going through and will support you.

Sanctuary provides a chance to get things off your chest, to seek answers to your problems and to receive expert opinions from guest speakers.

There’s always an opportunity to ask questions and seek out others whose family or friend has BPD, to form your own network of supports.

Sanctuary meetings provide access to our wide-ranging resources library.

Participants can join in person or online.

To participate on-line, a link will be sent to you on request to info@bpd-carers-sanctuary.org

So much support & guidance

There was a long wait for me to get into a Family Connections course. Sanctuary filled that space with so much support & guidance, thankyou & keep up the good work

Peter

Helpful skills and strategies

The information you send is very relevant and helpful to us. Fortunately, our daughter is much improved after a very difficult time. Using the strategies we have learnt through Sanctuary helped greatly to get us through. And if things change, we have the skills to help us through again. We still use them every day.
