This chapter describes the Family Connections (FC) program, a 12-week, two-hour, interactive, manualized, education/skills training course for relatives of persons with borderline personality disorder (BPD) that is co-led by trained family members. It explicates the training of co-leaders, the registration process for participants, a detailed description of the curriculum's six modules, and consideration of the on-going challenges faced by participants after the program ends. The introduction describes historical development of the program. Subsequent sections are organized into two parts: each opens with a segment that presents key ideas, which is followed by 'Leader Observations' the reflections of a seasoned leader.
