Square Pegs Presents... An Introduction to PD²

Welcome to PD² with Square Pegs, an audio podcast that’s an offshoot of the work we started with the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, the NCCMH, which is part of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in the United Kingdom, to challenge the prejudice and discrimination experienced by people with a label, or diagnosis of personality disorder.To be clear, the conversations in the podcast do not reflect the work or opinions of the Royal College or the NCCMH. This work originated from, but is no longer connected to either of those organisations. PD stands for both ‘Personality Disorder’ and ‘Prejudice and Discrimination’, where ‘squared’ also reflects our intention to square up to the prejudice and discrimination experienced by so many of us with a diagnosis, or label, of personality disorder. This podcast is a database of testimony, where your voice, your story will be cherished and valued for years to come; I’m inviting you to be part of the change we all need. If you, or you think someone you know would like to be involved with PD², please get in touch. You can find me, Chris Young, at [email protected].  Once I hear from you, I’ll send you a short explanation of what to expect as an interviewee. Remember, we are nothing without your stories…your testimony… together, we are PD².  Hosted on Acast.
