“Bridging the Divide: An Introduction into Care for People with Borderline Personality Disorder” Wednesday 14th July 2021 – from 9.00am – 3.30pm (Registrations: 8.30am – 9.00am) Venue: Tauranga RSA, 1237 Cameron Road, Greerton, Tauranga

Our understanding of, and treatment for, people with emotion regulation issues has dramatically changed over the last 10 years. Especially for those that are on the more severe side of the spectrum, often diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). For the longest time, this disorder was thought to be ‘incurable’. However, extensive scientific research has given us insight into treatment options that do make a difference in the lives of people with these problems. In this seminar, a brief theoretical overview will be given of the development of personality disorders in general. We will then shift our focus to the Borderline Personality Disorder. We will focus on principles and interventions in supporting people with these problems that will be helpful in all different sorts of services. The aim of this seminar is that participants will be better able to recognize and understand the problems of people with Borderline Personality Disorder. Although supporting people with severe BPD can be a challenge, participants will hopefully find they have acquired some basic tools, after this introduction, to feel more confident in supporting these people. The Presenter: Josette Wulffaert is a Clinical Psychologist who arrived three years ago in Aotearoa/New Zealand. She specialises in mental health care for people with severe BPD. She currently works at MICAMHS at the BOPDHB, where she combines clinical work with her intensive therapy liaison role to improve the care for young people with (emerging) personality disorders. She also runs her own private practice, Wayfarer Psychology. Alongside her clinical work, she works as a trainer and supervisor.
