Your support has allowed thousands of people impacted by borderline personality disorder at Emotions Matter this year feel seen and heard through our peer support and educational programs:

“When I was diagnosed with BPD, I felt completely lost and alone because of the stigma and misinformation. Once I connected with Emotions Matter, everything changed. Their resources helped me start to understand my diagnosis in a way that felt less scary and more hopeful. Thanks to their support, I’m now in functional recovery, something I didn’t think was possible at the start of my journey.” - Antoinette, Florida

"Emotions matter is a big part of my recovery. I have a space where I can relate to others about the parts of myself and my life that I struggle with. I feel seen, heard, and safe; concepts that were foreign to me before joining the group. It's been over a year since I attended my first meeting. So many things can change in a year and I'm grateful that I have this constant in my life." - Courtney,, North Carolina

“This meeting was absolutely amazing! It’s important to have a safe space for LGBTQIA+ folks with BPD.” - Testimonial from LGBTQIA Group surveys

“This group is like a drop of cold water when you’re dying of thirst…When everything feels awful, the common views are comforting and it is a relief.” - Testimonial from BPD Men’s Group

2024 was a year in which Emotions Matter continued to prioritize community support and voices for traditionally underserved or underrepresented communities. We translated BPD The Facts into Spanish, launched our LGBTQIA+ Support Group, offered webinars on Diverse BPD Experiences for Black History Month, launched Peer Chats Program, Inside Out 2 webinar for adolescents, and BPD and Housing Insecurity and BPD Substance Abuse Focus Groups. See the back of this sheet for a more complete list of our accomplishments.

Without YOU, we would not be able to do any of this. Emotions Matter needs $120,000 by Dec. 31st to continue helping people like Antoinette, Courtney and so many others in 2025.

Will you help us by making a gift to our 2024 Holiday Appeal? Your gift will help Emotions Matter continue to offer peer support and educational programs in 2025 and allow us to expand our services to reach even more people, inspiring hope for recovery and saving lives who are at risk.

On behalf of our board of directors, we thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity. We are excited about what the future holds, and we can only grow through your partnership. Warmest wishes to you and your family for the holiday season.
