Each group is co-facilitated by two volunteers with lived experience of BPD. Facilitators are not licensed health care professionals and do not diagnose, counsel, or give advice.
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
All participants agree to the following guidelines at registration:
- Your safety and well-being, as well as the safety of the group, is important to us.
- Use respectful language. Words and body language matter — be mindful of how others may interpret your communication.
- Differences are accepted and valued, especially with regard to gender, sexual orientation, identity, race, ethnicity, age, religion, and politics.
- Respect confidentiality. No photographs of other participants.
- Avoid making assumptions about others’ experience of BPD. No judgment.
- Show kindness and compassion for others who are struggling.
- All are welcome to share, but participation is optional. No one person should monopolize group time.
- Avoid interrupting, which can make other participants feel invalidated.
- Avoid explicit expressions of self-harm or trauma, which may be upsetting to others.
- If you express concerns about your safety, support will be offered. If emotions escalate and the group is unable to comfort you, you will be encouraged to reach out to your support system or consult with a mental health professional.

Each group is co-facilitated by two volunteers with lived experience of BPD. Facilitators are not licensed health care professionals and do not diagnose, counsel, or give advice.
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
All participants agree to the following guidelines at registration:
- Your safety and well-being, as well as the safety of the group, is important to us.
- Use respectful language. Words and body language matter — be mindful of how others may interpret your communication.
- Differences are accepted and valued, especially with regard to gender, sexual orientation, identity, race, ethnicity, age, religion, and politics.
- Respect confidentiality. No photographs of other participants.
- Avoid making assumptions about others’ experience of BPD. No judgment.
- Show kindness and compassion for others who are struggling.
- All are welcome to share, but participation is optional. No one person should monopolize group time.
- Avoid interrupting, which can make other participants feel invalidated.
- Avoid explicit expressions of self-harm or trauma, which may be upsetting to others.
- If you express concerns about your safety, support will be offered. If emotions escalate and the group is unable to comfort you, you will be encouraged to reach out to your support system or consult with a mental health professional.

Each group is co-facilitated by two volunteers with lived experience of BPD. Facilitators are not licensed health care professionals and do not diagnose, counsel, or give advice.
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
All participants agree to the following guidelines at registration:
- Your safety and well-being, as well as the safety of the group, is important to us.
- Use respectful language. Words and body language matter — be mindful of how others may interpret your communication.
- Differences are accepted and valued, especially with regard to gender, sexual orientation, identity, race, ethnicity, age, religion, and politics.
- Respect confidentiality. No photographs of other participants.
- Avoid making assumptions about others’ experience of BPD. No judgment.
- Show kindness and compassion for others who are struggling.
- All are welcome to share, but participation is optional. No one person should monopolize group time.
- Avoid interrupting, which can make other participants feel invalidated.
- Avoid explicit expressions of self-harm or trauma, which may be upsetting to others.
- If you express concerns about your safety, support will be offered. If emotions escalate and the group is unable to comfort you, you will be encouraged to reach out to your support system or consult with a mental health professional.

Each group is co-facilitated by two volunteers with lived experience of BPD. Facilitators are not licensed health care professionals and do not diagnose, counsel, or give advice.
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
All participants agree to the following guidelines at registration:
- Your safety and well-being, as well as the safety of the group, is important to us.
- Use respectful language. Words and body language matter — be mindful of how others may interpret your communication.
- Differences are accepted and valued, especially with regard to gender, sexual orientation, identity, race, ethnicity, age, religion, and politics.
- Respect confidentiality. No photographs of other participants.
- Avoid making assumptions about others’ experience of BPD. No judgment.
- Show kindness and compassion for others who are struggling.
- All are welcome to share, but participation is optional. No one person should monopolize group time.
- Avoid interrupting, which can make other participants feel invalidated.
- Avoid explicit expressions of self-harm or trauma, which may be upsetting to others.
- If you express concerns about your safety, support will be offered. If emotions escalate and the group is unable to comfort you, you will be encouraged to reach out to your support system or consult with a mental health professional.

MOTIONS MATTER — BPD PEER SUPPORT GROUPS
Online Peer Support for People Living with Borderline Personality Disorder
“Recovery is possible. You are not alone.”
ABOUT THE SCHEDULE
Emotions Matter offers multiple peer support group sessions every month, covering four rotating recovery topics — Trust · Advocacy · Purpose · Community — as well as dedicated groups for LGBTQIA+ individuals and men. Meeting dates, times, and topics vary each month based on volunteer facilitator availability. No meetings are held on a fixed recurring day or time. New sessions are added to the calendar each month. Always check the current schedule and register directly at: Emotions Matter Peer Support Groups Registration.
WHO CAN JOIN
These groups are open to individuals personally impacted by Borderline Personality Disorder only. Groups are not open to family members, friends, or the general public, in order to protect the privacy of all participants. All groups are completely free. Registration is reviewed and approved by Emotions Matter before a Zoom link is issued.

Each session has its own unique registration link listed below. The registration process is the same for all groups:
Step 1 — Click the registration link for the session you want to attend.

Each group is co-facilitated by two volunteers with lived experience of BPD. Facilitators are not licensed health care professionals and do not diagnose, counsel, or give advice.
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
All participants agree to the following guidelines at registration:
- Your safety and well-being, as well as the safety of the group, is important to us.
- Use respectful language. Words and body language matter — be mindful of how others may interpret your communication.
- Differences are accepted and valued, especially with regard to gender, sexual orientation, identity, race, ethnicity, age, religion, and politics.
- Respect confidentiality. No photographs of other participants.
- Avoid making assumptions about others’ experience of BPD. No judgment.
- Show kindness and compassion for others who are struggling.
- All are welcome to share, but participation is optional. No one person should monopolize group time.
- Avoid interrupting, which can make other participants feel invalidated.
- Avoid explicit expressions of self-harm or trauma, which may be upsetting to others.
- If you express concerns about your safety, support will be offered. If emotions escalate and the group is unable to comfort you, you will be encouraged to reach out to your support system or consult with a mental health professional.
