Hi there--I'm not too well-versed on what's out there, but it seems like the main treatment for BPD is outpatient psychotherapy (either individual or group). And there are many different types of therapy that have been found to be helpful (e.g. dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mentalization-based therapy, schema-focused therapy, transference-focused therapy, etc.)

Also will just mention that there's a thread on 7 Cups where people have listed some self-help resources:
