Twenty years ago, the first Family Connections™ class met in New York with co-founders Drs. Alan Fruzzetti and Perry Hoffman. This first class began the National Education Alliance on Borderline Personality Disorder’s journey of helping suffering families with education and skills while providing much-needed support for those with a loved one with emotion dysregulation, BPD and related problems. Fast forward to today: we have numerous research studies showing the effectiveness of Family Connections™, hundreds of trained peer leaders, and our program is now available worldwide.

We celebrate 20 years of strengthening families, bringing together family members, clinicians, researchers, and people with lived experience, and helping those most vulnerable build lives with less suffering and more wisdom and love.
