Day in the Life: Working with ADHD/BPD clients 3 Apr 25

Social workers see people struggling with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and/or adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in every social work context.

There are increasing numbers of people living with BPD and/or ADHD, many with significant health and social issues. There are many co-occurring difficulties these conditions exacerbate and vice versa.

How do you work well with someone who has either of both of these conditions? What do you need to be vigilant against in your own practice?

Join experienced practitioner Peter Smith as he outlines a Day in the Life working with people living with these conditions.
