The Unmask BPD Stigma Challenge
As part of our 10th Anniversary Virtual Gala: A Decade of Unmasking the Stigma, we invite you to join the Unmask BPD Stigma Challenge.
It’s simple:
Choose something to represent “unmasking”—decorate a mask, use one you already own, decorate glasses, or use any item that feels meaningful to you.
Record a short 15–30 second video. Upload it here: https://www.dropbox.com/request/yIOv2vGDqGAqc1JtbYrd
Post it on social media with @EmotionsMatterBPD and #UnmaskBPDStigma.
Make a donation of any amount to support Emotions Matter’s mission.
Contest: The five most creative and impactful submissions will be featured in a special video during our Gala on October 28, 2025.
Sample video language (feel free to adapt):
“Hi, my name is [First Name]. I’m joining Emotions Matter’s Unmask BPD Stigma Challenge. Happy 10th Birthday, Emotions Matter. I challenge YOU to take off your mask, donate, and raise awareness for BPD.”
Deadline: October 21, 2025.
Join the movement, celebrate 10 years of Emotions Matter, and help us unmask stigma around BPD.
