I have started managing a small office and one of my colleagues disclosed to me that she has BPD.(Borderline Personality Disorder) It was in the context of a more general discussion about how the office has been running previously (very chaotically) and I made a comment about preventative mental health- she thought I might already know something. Anyway- that's just to say I wasn't prompting and there has been nothing in the workplace that could have possibly alerted me to any difficulties. She's friendly, does what needs to be done when asked and is able to work well to a deadline.
Question is, how can I support her in the workplace? I did a bit of a google research, but those articles are very much about managing problem behaviour and really sound like performance management. I want to know what would actually help.
