This qualitative study focuses on the social experiences of a group of young women and men who engaged with a street level organization providing an early intervention service for young people “at risk” of diagnosis of personality disorder. Semi-structured interviews provided a range of insights into their lives which are characterized by difficult relationships and a range of risky and self-harming behaviors. Analysis produced three themes that highlight the onset of difficulties and dysfunctional relationships, the triggers for the current episode of difficulties, and the quality of family and other forms of support. This provided an overarching view of social circumstances that are embedded with crisis embodied by self-harm and a sense of loss for an “imagined” or “idealized” family that is symbolized by dysfunctional and abusive relationships
