Beccy Gamble
EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS SUPPORT
Beccy helps at our Creative Educational Workshops, which we usually run for health and social care professionals (or for students training in these areas).
Alongside Sarah and Vicky, Beccy candidly shares her own experience of life with BPD in order to help professionals and students better understand it.
The aim is to enable workshop participants to then be able to a more effectively support those living with BPD.
