Distress Tolerance Skills Group
Emotional dysregulation can make daily life feel overwhelming. Through our 7-week DBT skills group, teens will gain tools for responding to emotional intensity in healthier ways. Participants will build skills in distress tolerance and mindfulness. Before joining, each student will meet with one of our clinicians for a diagnostic evaluation and intake session. This ensures the group is the right fit and provides students and parents/caregivers with helpful information. This group is open to 13-17-year-old Iowa K-12 students who experience challenges with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, self-harm, and/or thoughts of suicide.
