Clarifying who FPPs beneficiaries are

Do you identify as plural but don't consider yourself to have DID/OSDD or a history of complex trauma?

FPP is aware that some people identify as being plural / multiple without having a complex trauma history and/or experiencing DID or OSDD. This group of people ARE NOT FPP’s targeted beneficiaries. As such they do not meet its criteria for membership and are unlikely to find FPP’s activities and resources relevant to their experiences.

Founded in 1997 First Person Plural is the dissociative identity disorder association. Our services and activities ARE for the ultimate benefit of adults who experience distressing complex dissociative conditions arising from complex trauma suffered in childhood. In clinical terms this means those who meet diagnostic criteria for Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and type 1 Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD). That said, it is not necessary to have an official diagnosis to become a full member of FPP but you must self-identify as experiencing DID or type 1 OSDD..
