    Overview: "What exactly is BPD? Trying to explain it to someone who has never experienced it can be quite a daunting task. My psychiatrist describes borderline personality disorder as having an "emotional sunburn." Imagine touching the skin of a person without a sunburn as opposed to touching the skin of someone with a horrible, blistering burn. While the person without a sunburn will be fine, the one with a sunburn will be in excruciating pain. Having BPD is like always having a bad sunburn but instead of covering my skin, it covers my emotions, making it so every negative thing I feel is magnified." - Jennifer O'Brien, Psych Central (2016)

    "Tens of thousands of students enrolled in American postsecondary institutions report having a mental illness. Recent increases in the size of this group are due in part to improved medications that result in symptoms mild enough for them to enjoy the benefits and meet the challenges of postsecondary education. Students with psychiatric disabilities are entitled to reasonable academic accommodations as provided by the American Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and 2008 amendments. Providing effective accommodations allows students equal access to academic courses and activities." - University of Washington (2017) College is stressful even for healthy individuals. It is especially challenging for those who are suffering from a personality disorder. The effects on the institution can also be dramatic. Students with personality disorders and other mental/emotional issues often 'fall through the cracks' and subsequently drop out. This leads to lower retention and graduation rates, which affects the college or university's reputation, ranking and recruiting. Many of these problems are avoidable. Most institutions already offer an extensive array of mental health resources, but students don't take advantage for a variety of reasons, such as the stigma of being labeled as mentally ill, ignorance or misinformation about available resources, and fear of asking for help.

    Join your colleagues form around the country as we discuss the extent of the problem, the implications for everyone who works in higher education, and what can be done to better meet the needs of college students with personality disorders who have the potential to be successful with the right resources and support. This webinar will focus on evidence-based best practices for helping these students achieve their educational and life aspirations.
