What is Waves?
Waves is a recovery and life skills programme for those who have a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), or experience similar traits.
Waves is delivered in a group setting, providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. The programme helps people understand their emotions and behaviours, make sense of their experiences, and learn practical coping strategies they can use in everyday life.
"Waves has changed my life more than I can say. I am a better version of me, confident, happy, enjoy life now. It has done more for me in 1 year than everything else in 30 years."
What do we learn?
Waves is a psychoeducational and life skills programme delivered in a therapeutic environment, but it is worth noting that Waves is not therapy.
Through the programme we explore:
- What BPD is
- Emotions
- Managing change
- Identity and values
- Relationships
- Boundaries
- Coping skills
"Waves has helped to change how I think and feel, I understand myself better, it has also helped my kids to understand me."
How do I access Waves?
Waves referrals are currently closed while we redevelop the programme to ensure it offers the most effective and supportive service for people seeking help with BPD.
Updated information about referrals and how to access support will be shared in the coming weeks. Please check back regularly for the latest updates.
"Waves has meant so much to me, I can't put into words. It has given me the understanding, knowledge and compassion to love myself. It's helped me to heal from generational trauma, it's helped me to recover from long depression. It's got me back into work and I'm excited to start a family."
