Hello..First of all, it is important to understand that a correct diagnosis is required for correct treatment. So get your friend a psychiatric evaluation to confirm the diagnosis. If she actually has BPD then the treatment will vary according to severity of symptoms. If she is Suicidal or has violent mood swings or becomes aggressive then initiating medication will be proper. Once she is stabilized on medication, therapy needs to be started. In case, she is not willing to go a psychiatrist, make sure that she doesn't do things to harm herself like cutting, drug abuse or harm others.
