Personality Disorder Training
This training is being written by our team right now. This page will be updated to reflect additional details when we have them.
We recommend you undertake Tier One training before undertaking Tier Two training, as the content covered in Tier One is only briefly touched on in Tier Two training.
Similarly, you may wish to undertake Tier Two training before transitioning into our Tier Three training.
We would like to remind you that the topics undertaken as a part of this training can be sensitive for many. Please feel free to e-mail our team ahead of time if you are worried that the training we offer may be too distressing for you to undertake. It is important to us that the people accessing our training feel comfortable doing so.
