Preparing for What Comes Next
Exclusive BPD Transitions Webinar
When residential treatment ends, many families are left wondering: What now? In this BPD Alliance webinar, moderator Julie Holly is joined by Angel Amaro, Bill Anderson, Samantha Mishne, Alyson Orcena, and Dr. Kimberly Vay for a practical discussion on discharge planning, step-down care, family involvement, DBT support, setbacks, limits, and what families can do to prepare for life after residential treatment.
The panel explores why discharge planning should begin early, how families can tell the difference between readiness and insurance-driven discharge, what PHP, IOP, outpatient care, and comprehensive DBT can look like, and how to support recovery at home without becoming your loved oneās therapist. This webinar is Part 3 of a 3-part series on residential treatment for families.
Key topics include: BPD and residential treatment, discharge planning after residential care, step-down care: PHP, IOP, outpatient therapy, and DBT, supporting a loved one after treatment, family involvement in BPD recovery, setting limits without rejection, lapse vs. relapse, parenting out of fear, modeling DBT skills at home, and self-care and peer support for families.
Whether you are living with BPD, parenting a teen or young adult, supporting a partner, or helping a loved one transition home after treatment, this conversation offers practical guidance for making discharge feel less like an ending and more like the next phase of recovery.
