The theme for the 2023 BPD Awareness Week campaign is
'Be the Difference - Principles of Care'
People living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often experience stigma and discrimination which remains a significant barrier to accessing appropriate care.
The core principles of care are drawn from the common factors of ‘what works’ in effective therapies. They can be easily incorporated in the practice of health professionals, expanding access to treatment and ensuring every interaction can be therapeutic.
Be the difference, make a difference, by applying the core BPD principles of care in your practice.

Mental Health Australia and the National Mental Health Consumer & Carer Forum are making a list of good psychosocial services. We want to hear from people with lived experience of mental ill‑health and carers and family members about what good psychosocial services look like. We’re doing this so we can tell the Australian Government what psychosocial services outside of the National Disability Insurance Scheme should be, once governments finish their current analysis of unmet need.
Please let us know what you think through a short survey, which takes up to 5 mins to complete:
- Survey for people with lived experience of mental ill-health (to fill out this survey please click here)
- Survey for carers and families of people with lived experience of mental ill-health (to fill out this survey please click here)
These surveys will be open until Friday 13 October 2023.
Your input to these surveys will directly feed into Mental Health Australia and the National Mental Health Consumer and Carer Forum’s advice to governments on psychosocial services outside the National Disability Insurance Scheme.Mental Health Australia and the National Mental Health Consumer & Carer Forum are making a list of good psychosocial services.
