By: Meehl Foundation The Maureen J Meehl Bipolar/BPD Foundation is a 501c3 foundation that receives donations throughout the year. Maureen J Meehl was a young mother with four young children when her life was cut short. Special consideration for young mothers with children will be given for these scholarships. The Meehl Foundation (http://www.meehlfoundation.org/) Borderline Personality Disorder is a maladaptive coping style that has up to an 87% success treatment rate using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Basically, DBT maintains that some people, due to genetic predisposition and environment, react abnormally to emotional stimulation. Their level of arousal goes up much more quickly, peaks at a higher level, and takes more time to return to normal. People with BPD experience intense abandonment fears and inappropriate anger. Their frantic efforts to avoid abandonment may include impulsive actions such as cutting, burning, self-mutilation and suicidal behaviors. Some people with BPD exhibit other impulsive behaviors, such as excessive spending, binge eating and risky sex. BPD often occurs together with other psychiatric problems, particularly bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and other personality disorders. The Meehl Foundations’ The Meehl House currently offers the only transitional residential home specializing in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy that is an "Amen Brain Healthy Treatment Program" for clients with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, depression and substance abuse. Living in a supportive environment with Mark and Debra, residents learn new skills for achieving and maintaining emotional regulation with access to the Meehl Foundation Intensively Trained DBT Team. Clients develop distress tolerance skills and learn how to take control of their thoughts and their actions. YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/ End
