The Adolescent DBT Skills Group is a supportive, skills-based program for teens that typically includes 4–8 participants meeting weekly.

Growth and learning through creative expression and the tapping of the imagination, a person can examine the body, feelings, emotions and his or her thought process. The creative process of art making allows for a child to move into the psychosocial stage of industry vs. inferiority.
