Social sensitisation to reduce prejudice against people with borderline personality disorder

The aim of the initiative is to raise awareness of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and reduce the stigma associated with it. Off-line and on-line awareness-raising and educational materials (podcasts, videos, leaflets, website sub-pages, presentations, workshops) will be produced to help reduce stigma and prejudice associated with mental illness. The initiative will create a dialogue between patients with a diagnosis and their environment, lay people and professionals. In the long term, the resulting awareness-raising materials will contribute to a wider dissemination of credible information about this vulnerable group of people with BPD and to the promotion of equality.
