BPD Support Group Experience Survey - Lived Experience

We at the BPD Society of BC strive to provide accessible, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, evidence-based programs to support folks in building a life worth living. To help us ensure that we are providing the best services to the community, we invite you to evaluate your experience in the Peer Support Group. We value your feedback and would appreciate if you could please take a moment to complete this form. Paper copies are available upon request for accessibility.

 

The following survey consists of several multiple choice and short answer questions and should not take more than 10 minutes to complete. There are some risks associated with participating in this survey, such as experiencing distress or strong emotions after discussing topics relating to mental health and service utilization. There are also some benefits associated with participating in this survey, such as feeling supported and heard after discussing mental health concerns. Please ensure yourself privacy as there are sensitive questions (separate space, private room). We encourage you to connect with your support network or follow up with the B.C. crisis line at 1-800-784-2433 or your local crisis line if needed.

 

Your answers will be anonymous, and you do not have to identify yourself. Anonymized information may be used for educational and granting purposes.
