The Bristol Borderline Personality Disorder Collective (BBPDC) is a grassroots community project that helps deliver in-person peer support, as well information sharing and signposting for those living with BPD/EUPD and CPTSD.
The weekly in-person meetings aim to foster a community where those living with BPD/EUPD and CPTSD can share their stories, learn from one another, and find solace in the knowledge that they are not alone in their struggles.
About us
BBPDC Founder + BPD & CPTSD Support Group Facilitator
Hey all! I'm Jade, a 33-year-old on a journey of self-discovery and growth. I have BPD, ADHD and Autism, and I've been in recovery from alcohol addiction since December 2022.
I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my amazing neurodivergent community. Their love and support have been my lifeline. I absolutely believe that everyone deserves to find their tribe, and safe havens where they can be their authentic selves without judgment.
That's why I founded the BPD Collective. We wanted to create safe and special spaces where individuals like us can share our experiences, and empower one another to build meaningful lives. We understand that healing is a journey, and we're all at different stages. But through connection and collaboration, we can make this journey more beautiful together.
Cheers and hope to meet you soon!
Jade xx

BBPDC Trustee + BPD & CPTSD Support Group Facilitator
Hey people I'm Maddie (she/her), short for Madeleine! I was born and raised in Australia but have lived in the UK for the past 8 years as I've decided to put my roots down here into the wonderful world of Bristol and its surrounding areas.
I have lived with ADHD and complex PTSD my entire life and identify with traits of BPD. I have been on a wonderful journey of self discovery for most of my life, my background is in health and social care, and now have plans to train as therapeutic counsellor. I am wildly passionate about supporting others, especially in environments that are holistic, person centred and non judgemental.
This is why I am so deeply grateful and excited to be involved with this wonderful peer led group. Connection and community is really close to my heart so I can't wait to meet you all!
