The aims of our virtual writing gallery are to showcase the work of those diagnosed with BPD.

​
 

By doing this, we hope to:

​

• Promote and celebrate the creative talent of the writers, as this:
  - Increases the self esteem of the writers
  - Encourages other people to view them as writers rather than just seeing a BPD label

 

• Empower adults with BPD to raise awareness of BPD (if they wish to), as this can:
  - Decrease feelings of self-stigma
  - Increase confidence

​

• Raise awareness and tackle the stigma of BPD, as:
  - Reading written work of firsthand BPD experiences helps people understand the reality of life with BPD (the poems
    express the internal, invisible struggles that create the responses/behaviour that is so often misunderstood)
  - More understanding improves how those with BPD are treated by professionals and improve relationships with loved ones
