Over the last 15 years, she specialised in the area of working with consumers who have a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD), both as a nurse and a counsellor. During that time, she has observed an overt negativity from health professionals in the community and in both the public and private health sectors to people with BPD. Jennifer believes people with BPD struggle to get their needs met within the current healthcare system and subsequently act out their frustrations, further alienating them from their caregivers. She supports short crisis admissions for stabilisation of acute suicidal ideation, followed up closely in the community with a key worker.показать меньше
