Acknowledging Mother's Day is difficult for some.
On this Mother's Day, we want to take a moment to acknowledge that this day can be filled with mixed emotions for many. While it is a time to honour and celebrate motherhood, we also know that it can be a difficult & painful day.

Who better to listen to than those with expertise. People living with BPD, carers who support & people who love those living with BPD share with us the supports that are most needed and most effective.
We ALL can make a difference to those whose lives are most impacted
