We want to develop specialist training for health and social care professionals, to develop their skills and knowledge of borderline personality disorder, and help them provide the best care to service users.
We need your help to raise the funds to develop a brand new training portal, which will host high-quality and engaging courses which will include text, images, audio, video, animations, simulations, quizzes, games, case studies, scenarios, role plays, discussions, and feedback. We will be using a variety of learning methods and materials to cater to different learning styles and preferences.
We estimate the cost of this project will be around £7,500. You can donate via our fundraising page here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/specialist-training-in-bpd
Who will benefit from this training?
We already run two courses online which anyone can access, but want to further that by creating a brand new portal with specialist training. This training will be offered to all health and social care professionals, including:
- healthcare professionals (specialists, consultants, doctors, nurses, support workers, mental health support workers)
- social care professionals (social workers, care workers, community support workers, outreach workers, activity coordinators, support staff)
- police officers
- probation officers
- prison officers
Why is this needed?
There is a lot of stigma and discrimination around BPD, which is often caused by a lack of knowledge and understanding. We believe that this training will help health and social care professionals understand the condition better, which in turn helps the service user get better quality treatment and support.
Where will the donations go?
We aim to develop five courses initially, which will be tailored to suit:
- healthcare professionals
- social care professionals
- police officers
- probation officers
- prison staff
Your donations will cover the costs of:
- developing the course content
- graphic design, videos, and interactive elements
- creating a bespoke training portal
- registering each course to be CPD accredited
- software licenses and outsourced services
- marketing and promoting the courses among health and social care organisations
