Personality disorder is one of the most misunderstood of mental health disorders. Historically, people with this diagnosis have experienced exclusion and rejection from mainstream mental health services and wider multi-agency services. This article describes the development of a new strategy to build strong, seamless links across multi-agency services with the aim of providing timely interventions, improving patient experience and reducing the likelihood of transitions to more costly services.
