Multi-Family Skills Training (age 14-18)
This group involves adolescences and a support person (often someone in the caregiving role). It is 24 weeks long and goes through the comprehensive DBT skills. This is not group therapy! It's more of a class structure with the DBT therapist teaching the group how to use a skill and this being assigned for practice over the week. The goal is to help you with new strategies and behaviours to tolerate distress, regulate painful and intense emotions, increase awareness of thoughts and emotions, and to maintain and improve relationships.

DBT Skills Group (age 18+)
Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Mindfulness skills are taught in the 24-week group. Why would we spend time to learn about skills we may not use? Think of it like cooking. If we only know how to make eggs that may work for some time. If we are hosting someone who doesn't eat eggs, we may need to read some recipe's and practice making other meals before they come over. That's like skills group! We are giving you the recipe for the skills so you can practice and see which ones work for you!
