Services for BPD in Sydney

Hi there

I am new to this forum.

My daughter is 24, diagnosed with BPD around 6 years ago, but it was with her a long time before the diagnosis

She has a 12 month old boy, living in regional QLD. About to come home, Sydney, as she is struggling with her illness and baby

I am looking for services in Sydney that are not private, as she is on a pension

I found the one at Westmead hosptial, but it only takes people from the area

Also wondering if there is a mothers group for people with mental health in Sydney

Hope you can assist me

Regards

Orby

Thanks Lauz

I am founding it really diffcult to find groups/day paitient facilities that are not private - seems to be a lot more available in Melbourne = may need to move!
