DBT-informed Skills Group

This group draws on the skills developed by Marsha Linehan in her therapeutic method called “DBT” which stands for Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The skills associated with this therapy have been found effective for a range of challenges including depression, anxiety, anger, trouble managing emotions, reducing crisis and improving relationships. This group is considered DBT-Informed because it will not meet criteria for fully adherent DBT. We believe this format will increase accessibility to the skills for a variety of participants who do not need an intensive program. This group seeks to provide a flexible approach to accessing the skills.
