About our care
The SUN Service is a service for people who experience emotional and behavioural difficulties, sometimes referred to as personality disorder.
We aim to help people feel less isolated and overwhelmed by emotions or problems. We also try and help people to learn better coping skills and reduce harmful behaviours such as self injury, drug and alcohol use.
The SUN Service runs groups in local communities where people meet with others to give and receive support and practical help and advice.
Once you are a member you can come to as many or as few groups as you want, it’s up to you. If you want to have a break that’s fine, you are always welcome to come back when you are ready.

Who is this service for?
This service is for adults aged 18 and over. People accessing SUN typically experience a range of mental health difficulties including fluctuating intense emotions, low self-esteem and relational difficulties often associated with personality disorder.
Members are not required to have a formal diagnosis of personality disorder. Anyone who identifies with the difficulties above and feels the group may be useful is welcome to join.
