'Much More Than A Label': Collective Advocacy for people with BPD/EUPD

CAPs Independent Advocacy's collective advocacy group 'Much More Than A Label' is by and for anyone who may attract the diagnosis of a personality disorder in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

The group have recently finished a consultation about mental health service provision in Edinburgh for people with Borderline Personality Disorder or Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder. The consultation spoke to both people who may attract these diagnoses, with experience of accessing services in Edinburgh, and to the professionals working in those services.

We are hosting an open meeting for anyone who may attract these diagnoses, and who has experience of accessing or trying to access support around them in Edinburgh. At this meeting we will:

-Look at the results of our consultation, share our experiences, and our views on next steps.

-Share information about our groups involvement in planning for services in Edinburgh and exploring what people most want and need from services.

-Talk about Collective Advocacy, and how to get involved in our group.

After signing up for this event, our group facilitator Alex will be in touch for a brief 1-2-1 chat ahead of the session to share more information, and answer any questions. Please include your contact information when signing up, or email Alex and [email protected] with any questions, or if you would prefer to share your information outside Eventbrite.
