PRESS RELEASE – November 2025
Dr. Rupa Talukder Hosts Offline Conference on Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness and the Role of DBT in Emotional Well-Being
Kolkata, November 2025:

In an effort to promote understanding, early support, and compassionate care for individuals living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), leading mental health professional Dr. Rupa Talukder, widely recognized as one of the best psychological counsellor in Kolkata, is organizing an offline awareness conference this November 2025. The conference aims to bring together patients, families, caregivers, and community members to learn about effective, research-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Mental Health (DBT).

Borderline Personality Disorder is a condition that affects emotional regulation, relationships, and self-perception. Many individuals and families struggle silently due to stigma, misconceptions, and lack of accessible information. Dr. Talukder’s awareness event focuses on building understanding, reducing stigma, and helping people recognize that BPD is manageable with the right therapeutic support.

The Role of DBT in Managing BPD

DBT—Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Mental Health—is an evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help individuals build skills in four major areas:
Emotion regulation


Distress tolerance


Interpersonal effectiveness


Mindfulness


During the conference, Dr. Talukder will explain how DBT can support individuals in managing overwhelming emotions, improving decision-making, and creating healthier relationships. While DBT does not claim to “cure” BPD, it has been shown to significantly improve quality of life and emotional stability for many people. The goal of the awareness program is to provide accurate information and encourage timely professional help.
Purpose of the Awareness Conference
The event is designed to:
Educate families about how BPD affects behavior and relationships


Highlight the role of therapeutic support in long-term improvement


Provide practical guidance on supporting loved ones


Connect the community with mental health resources in Kolkata


Break myths and reduce the stigma surrounding personality disorders


The conference will feature interactive discussions, real-life case insights (without revealing personal identities), and guided sessions on emotional communication. Special segments will be tailored for relatives and caregivers, who often experience confusion or burnout while supporting a family member with BPD.
