In the ERP (Emotion Regulation Pathway) we work with people with complex emotional needs, who may  be diagnosed with ‘Borderline Personality Disorder’.  We use evidence-based interventions to support people who have problems in regulating emotions, impulsivity and interpersonal relationships using evidence-based approaches.  

The role offers opportunities to co-develop and deliver peer support in the ERP.  This post will support the ongoing success of bringing the expertise of people with lived experience into our Living Well teams; specifically by bringing that expertise into our pathway for people with complex emotional needs.
