Dear friends,

This year's Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign has recently begun. Many of the people who support the Ottawa Network for Borderline Personality Disorder (ON-BPD) will take part in that charitable enterprise.  

ON-BPD provides cost-free, 12-week Family Connections courses in Ottawa for family members of people with BPD. We've also recently launched quarterly refresher/networking sessions under the banner of "Continuing Connections," to further support graduates of the Family Connections program.

ON-BPD does not receive any funding from government or other agencies to conduct these courses. We employ no staff and rent no offices. We rely entirely on donations to help us to give the Family Connections courses in Ottawa. Donations are used to send for training those who are interested and able to contribute their time and energy as volunteer facilitators and leaders. We also use those funds to replenish or update our resource library and, when necessary, pay for facility rental.
 
When planning your charitable giving and filling out your form, please consider making a contribution to the Ottawa Network for Borderline Personality Disorder (ON-BPD). This can be done by indicating:

    The name of the charity: Ottawa Network for Borderline Personality Disorder
    The Charity Number: 829239474RR0001

There are other ways to donate to ON-BPD. Visit our donation page to learn how!

Over the past 12 years, more than 350 family members have had the opportunity to participate in the Family Connections course in Ottawa, taught by volunteers who have lived the same reality. The principles and skills have helped hundreds of families in the Ottawa region.

Please help us to continue to give the same opportunity to families.
 
With gratitude for your support,
Michèle
President, Ottawa Network for Borderline Personality Disorder
