DBT: From Chaos to Recovery Considerations: • 1. People who have BPD could be your brother, mother, sister, niece, cousin and therefore when you interact with these clients it is to do so, upholding the Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights principles, and treating every person with the respect, dignity and consideration they are entitled to. • 2. As Mental Health Service providers, we need to advocate for our clients by providing a comprehensive therapy for BPD, which does and can have a significant impact on clients’ lives and use of health services.
