Thanks so much, Starling. I emailed Emergence a few months ago to see if they might be interested in starting a branch over here (in the USA) and they said they pretty much have their hands full with their work in the UK.

I've been involved with support groups here for 12 years but there is nothing specifically for PD's. There is a non-profit organization here concerned with BPD but the focus seems to be on programs for family members.

There's a new general mental health support group in my area that includes PD's in the list of things people may have been diagnosed with. I've just been to it a couple of times. Maybe it will turn into something like Emergence, I hope so anyway.
