Volunteer: Peer Support Group Facilitators

The BPD Society of BC is seeking passionate, committed and well-organized volunteers to facilitate a peer support group for individuals living with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Successful candidates for these voluntary roles will have direct lived experience of BPD or be a loved ones of a person living with BPD. As a Peer Support Group Facilitator, you will play a vital role in creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where participants can share their experiences, build connections, and find hope.  The responsibilities of successful volunteer peer support facilitators will include working with other peers to deliver support group meetings based upon a peer model; attending pre- and de-brief meetings; and maintaining clear and consistent communication with the team.

Currently, we are especially interested in hearing from potential volunteers for the following groups:


·       Vancouver.

·       Nanaimo.

·       Kelowna.

·       Victoria

However, we continue to accept expressions of interest for potential volunteers for any of our groups virtually or throughout BC. Additionally, if we do not host a group in your region, you are welcome to indicate the area of interest when applying.
