2 This conference is geared toward healthcare providers including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, counselors, occupational and expressive art therapists. It will also be beneficial for people with BPD and their families to learn about empirically tested treatment strategies, and how to strive for a better quality of life. Borderline Personality Disorder - A new treatment approach Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by long-term patterns of unstable interpersonal relationships, impulsive urge-driven behaviors, identity disturbances and emotional chaos. The emotional suffering of the person with BPD affects day-to-day functioning and their quality of life. This condition can be challenging for treatment providers and families as they respond to the many needs of these individuals. Traditionally, the treatment for BPD has been psychodynamic in focus, but new evidence suggests that better results may be achieved through specialized cognitive behavioral therapies, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This conference explores these skills-based therapies as an important resource for clinicians and family members in supporting the patient to manage this complex disorder. Learn about the latest treatment perspectives from national and local experts in DBT at the 1st Annual Akron General Mental Health Summit provided by Akron General Medical Center in cooperation with the National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder (NEA-BPD) in partnership with NARSAD. Community partners for this event include the Akron Area Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA), the Ohio Ambulatory Behavioral Healthcare Association (OABHA) and the Summit County Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI). Continuing education credits are available. Conference Objectives Identify and understand complex treatment issues for persons with borderline personality disorder. Discuss advances in treatment with an emphasis on the roles of family and mental health providers in partnership with the patient. Establish a partnership with providers and families to develop services for persons seeking treatment and support in our community.
