Our service users often have longstanding difficulties in relationships, early experiences of trauma, poor early attachments, and a pronounced difficulty in managing overwhelming emotions.

NPDDN provides both psycho-education groups, and Mentalization based groups (recommended by National Institute of Care and Excellent [NICE]). These vary in length from 12 weeks to 1 year. We provide group therapy, as it has been proven to work with this client group. Clients benefit from developing appropriate relationships with others who have similar experiences to themselves.

One of the groups, based in Nottingham City, is aimed specifically at young people who have emerging personality difficulties which are of a far greater degree and significance to those of most teenagers and young adults.

The service covers Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County. Services are offered in Nottingham City, Mansfield, Worksop and Newark.

Referrals to NPDDN are made by healthcare professionals. If you wish to be referred to NPDDN you will need to discuss this with a healthcare professional such as your GP, community psychiatric nurse, psychiatrist, or other mental health professional.

Time to Change is a growing social movement working to change the way we all think and act about mental health problems. We've already reached millions of people and begun to improve attitudes and behaviour.

Despite the progress we’ve made, we know that many people still don’t consider mental health relevant to them. They don’t believe mental health problems are likely to affect them or people they know.

But the reality is that mental health can affect anyone. Statistically, 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem in any given year. That’s why our work is so important. No one should have to fear being treated differently because of a mental health problem. 

If you're looking for individual advice, information or support for you or someone else, unfortunately Time to Change can't provide that but there are lots of people who can - visit our Mental health help and support services page for a list of numbers to call.
