The DBT skills group program is a 26 week course that teaches DBT related skills such as managing and coping with overwhelming emotions (emotion regulation), building healthy relationships (interpersonal effectiveness), and tolerating emotional distress without making matters worse (distress tolerance) to adolescents and their parents/caregivers. The group is led by two of our clinicians and there are a maximum of 5 families in the group. Many participants will complete the program twice (i.e. one year) to consolidate the skills. Please note, this is not a drop-in class and the adolescent must see an individual therapist regularly.
