19th Annual Yale-National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder Conference

The conference is aimed at mental health professionals, training clinicians, and researchers, as well as those with lived BPD experience and their family members. Our presenters include researchers, treatment developers, master clinicians, and individuals with lived experience of BPD. These presenters will make cutting edge research and practice accessible to both professional and lay audience members, and ample time will be provided for questions from the audience throughout the conference day.

The conference theme for the 19th Annual Conference, scheduled for May 10th, 2024, is Destigmatizing BPD. Five professional presenters, two lived experience speakers, and two panel discussions will discuss stigma, labeling, and their relationship to loneliness and social alienation, how stigma’s inherent invalidation contributes to the disorder, the unique ways it can affect members of the LGBTQ community, reducing stigma in BIPOC populations, and how stigma can and must be addressed and minimized.
