BPD Foundation for Borderline and Sensitive People

The BPD Foundation for Borderline and Sensitive People (Polish: Fundacja BPD na rzecz Borderline i Osób Wrażliwych, also referred to as Fundacja Wrażliwi) is a Polish non-profit organisation founded and run by psychologists who work with people described as having personality disorders. Its stated mission is to support individuals with borderline personality disorder and highly sensitive people, and to challenge the stigma attached to emotional difficulties in Polish culture. The foundation presents itself as a small, practitioner-led initiative rather than a large institution: its homepage introduces its founders, Anita Kręgielewska and Vivian Fiszer, as psychologists, and frames its work around the idea that sensitivity and intense emotions are not weaknesses but can be sources of devotion, creativity, engagement, joy and enthusiasm when the right support is available. The foundation's activities are organised around several recurring programme lines. These include open lectures, efforts to counter loneliness, business training, training for professionals, self-help materials, anti-stigma campaigning, and therapeutic groups. It has also run meetups for sensitive people, described on its website as taking place roughly once a month, though these were suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The organisation publishes news about lectures it has given or plans to give, sometimes making them available online, and lists conferences and events it attends or recommends. As a foundation, the organisation is a non-profit legal entity under Polish law rather than a commercial company. It does not sell a consumer product line; its 'offerings' are educational, therapeutic and advocacy services. Its audience includes people who identify as highly sensitive or who live with borderline personality disorder, their families, and professionals such as therapists, educators and employers who want to understand emotional difficulties better. The foundation's public communication is in Polish, and its contact address uses the domain fundacjawrazliwi.pl, while its main website is fundacjabpd.pl. Because the organisation is small and relatively new, detailed public information about its founding date, registration details, budget and staff is limited. What is clear from its own materials is its practitioner-led character, its focus on de-stigmatising emotional problems, and its emphasis on the idea that emotional problems are problems like any other. The foundation positions itself as a bridge between clinical knowledge and everyday life, offering psychoeducation and peer support rather than clinical treatment alone.

The BPD Foundation for Borderline and Sensitive People is a Polish non-profit organisation founded by psychologists Anita Kręgielewska and Vivian Fiszer. Public information about its exact founding date and registration history is limited; the organisation presents itself on its website as a practitioner-led initiative created to support people with borderline personality disorder and highly sensitive individuals in Poland. From its own account, the foundation grew out of the founders' clinical work with people described as having personality disorders. The website explains that these individuals 'suffer from always' and may be impulsive and explosive, or may not show emotions and be shy and introverted. The founders emphasise that sensitivity and intense emotions can also bring devotion, creativity, engagement, joy and enthusiasm, and that with appropriate support such people can flourish at home, at school and at work. This perspective shapes the foundation's mission: to reduce the stigma attached to emotional problems in Polish culture and to promote the idea that emotional problems are problems like any other. Over time the foundation has developed a portfolio of recurring activities. These include open lectures, which it sometimes shares online; efforts to counter loneliness; business training; training for professionals; self-help materials; anti-stigma campaigning; and therapeutic groups. It has also organised meetups for sensitive people, described on the website as taking place roughly once a month. The foundation notes that these meetups were suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that its news output has been limited for the same reason. The organisation also uses its website to list and recommend conferences and events, and to publish information about lectures it has given or plans to give. Its contact address uses the domain fundacjawrazliwi.pl, while its main website is fundacjabpd.pl. As a foundation, it operates as a non-profit legal entity under Polish law rather than as a commercial company, and its public communication is in Polish. Because the organisation is small and relatively new, there is little public information about its budget, staff size, partnerships or formal registration details. Its history is therefore best understood through its programme lines and its public advocacy stance rather than through a chronology of corporate milestones.
