Northampton Center for DBT Adolescent Program
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches how to manage emotions, relationships and stress in effective and meaningful ways. These life skills are helpful for all people, and adolescence is a great time to learn them. DBT provides strategies to set us up for happiness and confidence in our lives. This program provides support to teens and their parents as they learn and practice implementing these skills. Teens meet every Thursday afternoon for 90 minutes and parents meet every two or three Friday evenings of a module for two hours to follow along with learning skills and get support in the process.
