About the Seminar:

It will focus primarily on studies of emotional and social processing in the brain among individuals with BPD, and consider how these findings relate to the lived experience of the disorder.
About the Presenter:
Cameron Le Roux

Disclaimer:
These seminars do not take the place of medical advice or treatment. There will be resources available for those seeking more information about BPD, as well as support.

Emotions Matter Community Group Guidelines:
1. Your safety and well-being, as well as the safety of the event, is important to us.
2. Use respectful language. Words and body language matter. Be mindful of how others can interpret your communication.
3. We accept differences and promote acceptance, especially with regard to gender, sexual orientation, identity, race, ethnicity, age, religions, or politics.
4. Respect confidentiality. No photographs of other event participants.
5. Avoid making assumptions about other people’s experience of BPD. No judgment.
6. Show kindness and compassion for others who are struggling.
7. All are welcome to share, but participation is optional. No one person should monopolize the event time.
8. Avoid interrupting, which can make other event participants feel invalidated.
9. Avoid explicit expressions of self-harm or trauma, which may be upsetting to others.
10. If at any point you express concerns about your safety, we will offer support. If your emotions escalate and we are not able to comfort you, we will encourage you to reach out to your support system or consult with a mental health professional.
