Virtual Annual/Home Meeting

7 - 9 PM
“Addressing Self-Hatred on the BPD Recovery Journey” For Families of Loved Ones With a Personality Disorder
With Dr. Blaise Aguirre
Dr. Blaise Aguirre, child and adolescent psychiatrist, is nationally and internationally recognized for his extensive work in the treatment of mood and personality disorders in adolescents. He directs a program at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts, focusing on self-endangering behaviors and the symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD). He has written several books, but during our January Home Meeting, Blaise will discuss issues from his latest book, I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Loathing and Realize Why You’re Wrong About You. There will be plenty of time for questions during this live meeting, which will not be recorded.
Please note: The NEPDA Annual Meeting and Board of Directors election will be held after the Home Meeting. Everyone is invited to attend.

NEPDA is run by volunteers, but nevertheless, it costs to bring you the very best speakers. Your donations are our primary source of income. Please give at least $12 per meeting. More if you can. Less if you can’t.
NEPDA Home Meetings are limited to 50 participants so all questions are usually answered. By keeping numbers low, we hope to foster a sense of community and belonging. You can, of course, also remain anonymous by keeping your video screen off during meetings.

These virtual meetings, which take place on the fourth Monday of the month, formerly occurred in participants’ living rooms, thus the name, “Home Meetings”. The name stuck because we hope family and friends of those with personality disorders find a welcoming “home” with us at NEPDA. The format includes a presentation by a speaker and time for questions and sharing.
