Humber Family Connections

Family ConnectionsTM (FC) is a free, 12-session group-based course focusing on education, skills training and support for people who are supporting a person with difficulties associated with emotion dysregulation or what may be labelled Borderline or Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder.

The Team
