You are Cordially Invited to Join Emotions Matter's 10th Anniversary Celebration!

Emotions Matter is proud to announce our 10th Anniversary Virtual Gala on October 28, 2025—celebrating a decade of transforming lives for people affected by borderline personality disorder (BPD). The theme is "A Decade of Unmasking the Stigma: Empowering People Impacted Borderline Personality Disorder for Hope, Healing and Change."

This milestone event will feature lived experience voices, professionals, and our signature online auction. It caps a powerful year, following the success of our Walk for BPD and BPDFest webinar series.

What began as a grassroots vision is now a national movement. Today, we serve over 3,000 people each year through peer-led programs, support groups, education, and advocacy. With up to 70% of people with BPD experiencing suicidal thoughts, our work proves that recovery is possible—and that people with BPD can become leaders and advocates in their communities.

This special 10th Anniversary Virtual Gala Celebration will include:

● Peer testimonials and impact stories

● Keynote presentations from our founders, featured clinicians and thought leaders

● Happy Birthday video Gallery from the community

● Silent Auction, Swag and Resources

● Honorees and Awards for Special Contributors to Emotions Matter

Support our mission and programs with your ticket purchase and an additional donation.
