Discussion with Legal Expert Jennifer Cunha, Esq. and Board-Certified Psychiatrist Dr. Ivan Cichowicz

Do you have residents or board members whose moods swing dramatically — one moment calm and cooperative, the next impulsive, angry, or withdrawn?

Are you unsure whether you’re dealing with a mood disorder like Bipolar Affective Disorder, or a personality pattern like Borderline Personality Disorder — and how to respond appropriately as a board or property manager?

Join us for The Two B's: Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar Affective Disorder, where we break down the key differences between the two, how each affects behavior, relationships, and decision-making, and what every association should understand about fair housing protections, safety, and liability.

Learn how to recognize early warning signs, communicate effectively, and create a stable environment for everyone — even when emotions run high.

Gain practical tools to balance compassion with clear boundaries — helping your board navigate mental health issues with confidence, consistency, and care.
