Area of Science:

  • Mental Health Services
  • Psychology
  • Community Health

Background:

  • Peer support shows promise for borderline personality disorder (BPD) recovery and distress reduction.
  • Few evaluated BPD peer support programs currently exist.
  • An unmet need for accessible BPD support was identified by individuals with BPD and their families.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the design and implementation of a novel, stakeholder-driven, peer-led online support group for BPD.
  • To document a community-led model for mental health service innovation.
  • To assess program outcomes, including attendance, demographics, and participant satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • A 2-year peer-driven process to identify core principles and design the support group.
  • Narrative description of support group design, peer facilitator training, and online adaptation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Quantitative analysis of attendance (one-way ANOVAs) and participant survey data (N=598).

Main Results:

  • 138 peer-support sessions were held in 26 months, with 1383 total attendees.
  • Significant increases observed in registered participants, program attendance, and waitlists.
  • High participant satisfaction reported; 44% had no prior BPD treatment and 48% had never met another person with BPD.

Conclusions:

  • This stakeholder-led initiative successfully designed and implemented a sustainable peer-led support group for individuals with BPD.
  • The program's sustained demand underscores the critical need for accessible and empowering support options for the BPD community.
  • This model expands possibilities for stakeholder-led innovation in mental health services.
