BPD Alliance, namely the National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder, is an education, advocacy, and support organization focused on borderline personality disorder (BPD) and chronic emotional dysregulation. It is not simply a commercial course platform, but rather provides research-based educational content, tools, and community support for people with lived experience, family members, clinicians, and the general public. The website also clearly states that its content is for informational and educational purposes only and cannot replace professional diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice.
The platform’s core resources include the free Family Connections program, recorded webinars, a resource library, videos, PDFs, articles, and a blog. Family Connections is described as a free, evidence-based family support program offered in more than 30 countries, helping family members learn crisis management, effective communication, and relationship repair. Its course areas focus on BPD, chronic emotional dysregulation, family support, and clinical professional training. The website also mentions professional training for clinicians, but the main content does not disclose specific syllabi, course hours, instructor arrangements, accreditation, or certificate information.
The clearly stated pricing information is that Family Connections is free. Webinars and the resource library appear to be accessible educational resources, but it is not stated whether other activities or professional training programs require payment. The organization was founded in 2001 by Dr. Perry Hoffman together with people with lived experience of BPD, family members, clinicians, and researchers. It has held more than 100 national and international conferences, built a large online BPD resource library, and has been recognized by the American Psychiatric Association and the National Alliance on Mental Illness, giving it strong professional credibility.
Its strengths are its focused subject matter, clear public-interest orientation, emphasis on evidence-based content, and attention to both individuals and family systems. Its explanation of BPD is relatively destigmatizing, emphasizing emotional dysregulation, skill development, and relationship repair. The resources are available in various formats and are suitable for self-study and for family members getting started. Its drawbacks are that the content is only moderately structured as formal courses, and information about professional training is not transparent enough. Details about certificates, fees, schedules, and language support are missing. Since the content is mainly in English, Chinese-speaking users may face a language barrier.
It is suitable for family members, people with lived experience, mental health practitioners, and researchers who want to systematically understand BPD. It is especially useful for family members looking for frameworks for communication and crisis response. Access from mainland China cannot be determined from the text alone and is marked as unknown. At the same time, crisis intervention and medical advice should still prioritize locally compliant professional services.
