Pilot project for a recovery‐oriented, DBT‐informed skill‐building education course for families of adults with borderline personality, bipolar or major depressive disorders

There are a variety of educational interventions for families who have a relative with a mental health disorder. However, for those with one or more emotion dysregulation disorders, there are limited options. This article reports on the results of a pilot project using a quasi‐experimental design with a sample of 270 (intervention = 217, control = 53) to assess an intervention, Getting Off the Emotional Roller Coaster Skill ‐ Building Family Education Course (GOER Family Course) , for families coping with and managing emotion regulation disorders in a loved one which are often misdiagnosed or co‐occurring. This intervention was effective in reducing caregiver burden [ F (1, 120) = 12.25, p = 0.001], while improving attitudes, knowledge, and skills [ F (1, 170) = 6.16, p = 0.014]. It fills an important gap in available resources for families faced with challenges and responsibilities that these disorders can present, especially when inaccurately diagnosed or receiving ineffective treatment. While there is a need for further research and adaptation to virtual learning, the preliminary results show positive effects
