Fall 2016 Workplace DBT Training Series
What is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)?
DBT is recognized as a best practice for treating self-harm and/or suicidal behaviors and has been adapted for patients with substance abuse disorders; patients with eating disorders; depressed senior citizens; adults with ADHD; and inmates in correctional settings.
DBT uses a cognitive behavioral approach infused with Zen principles and practices. These include a strong emphasis on acceptance of a person as they are, combined with the expectation that current behaviors need to change.
DBT Skills Training consists of four major components: Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance and Core Mindfulness Training.
Who this training is for: Community Mental Health Workers, Mental Health Clinicians, Persons in Recovery, Family Members, Teachers and Students.
We need to care for ourselves while helping others.
The Training: The training consists of six (6) 2 ½ hour sessions scheduled once per week for six consecutive weeks. Homework will be assigned each session and half of each successive session will be utilized for homework review and skills practice. It is imperative that participants attend each and every session to ensure effective training.
