Dear Friends,

Supporting people affected by borderline personality disorder (BPD) is near and dear to my heart.  My younger sister, Pamela, was diagnosed with BPD in 1999, and strugged with symptoms until her death in 2001, as a result of neglient mental health care.

Along with my mother, Bea Tusiani, I co-authored a memoir about our family's journey with BPD called Remnants of a Life on Paper: A Mother and Daughter's Struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder (Baroque Press, 2013).  And in 2015, as result of the many people we met after our book was published who were also affected by BPD, I co-founded Emotions Matter Inc., a 501c3 non-profit organization whose mission is to support, educate and advocate for people impacted by borderline personality disorder.

Emotions Matter is holding a fundraiser called the Walk for BPD on Sunday, June 5th hybrid and in person at Pier 40 Hudson River Park in New York City.  This is our biggest event of the year to raise critical funds for our peer support and educational programs which are offered at no cost to the community. 

Will you consider walking with us, or making a donation to my walk team support people with BPD?

I have proudly worked along side passionate volunteers at Emotions Matter because I know that the work we do saves lives.  When people are struggling with intense emotions, a supportive community and stigma-free informaiton changes their mindset from despair to hope.  

This is our first in person event in two years.... We are so excited to be getting off zoom, and seeing our Emotions Matter community!  Please join us, or make a contribution to support someone with BPD.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Warm Regards,

Paula Tusiani-Eng, LMSW, M.Div.
