Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps clients improve their emotional health through four core concepts: mindfulness; distress tolerance; emotion regulation; and interpersonal effectiveness. In this course will develop your knowledge and skills in all four core areas. You'll learn how to structure DBT skills groups, teach in a more engaging manner, address problem behaviours and help clients get the most out of their homework. You'll emerge better equipped to help clients who struggle with emotional and interpersonal difficulties to lead less troubled, more satisfying lives.

Learn how to implement a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Consultation Team within your own treatment setting. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to structure a Consultation Team based on common agreements, breaking down any barriers that might impede your team’s progress and smooth functioning. You’ll assess and identify treatment problems in depth, design the most effective solutions and monitor client progress. You’ll learn to present your own cases more clearly and concisely than ever, and benefit from group consultation and discussion.
