This half day workshop aims to provide an opportunity for participants to understand more about the diagnostic category of personality disorder in order to better provide services and support that can make a positive difference to people's lives.
It is aimed at all employees and managers of the Statutory, Voluntary and Independent sectors.
This is a workshop that is suitable for participants at all levels, mainly as an introduction to the issues, though it can also provide an update for staff who are already trained / more experienced in working with people with a personality disorder. It will draw upon personal experiences of receiving a personality disorder diagnosis and up to date evidence of helpful interventions and approaches.
The standard charge for this course is £49. Please refer to our Course Charges on the Home page for information on discounts and exemptions.
Please join the meeting prior to the 9.30 start, so you have time to check that the technology is working.
