DBT stands for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. DBT is a treatment approach that uses 4 main components which are distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Each week, the group will speak about one of the four components and learn skills on how to use these techniques in their day to day life. DBT is rooted in finding the balance between acceptance and change. We can accept and validate our feelings with the goal of changing how we react, process, and behave.

The purpose of the group is for clients with generalized anxiety or other anxiety disorders to come together, process and support one another in their journeys. While this group will not follow a rigid curriculum, it will be organized around rotating sets of topics, accompanied by light group activities and education about various coping skills. But the main goal is for participants to learn from one another, to not be alone, and to see how others make it through each day.

Becoming the best version of yourself will require assistance. Personal development groups allow like-minded individuals to support each other on their mutual journeys. Life is a class in which everyone is a student, and everyone is a teacher. Providing a safe atmosphere that facilitates growth and empowerment is essential in creating group trust. Once this trust has established through accountability and group cohesion, each member will ultimately inspire their brother. "As individual fingers we can be easily broken, but all together we make a mighty fist." -Sitting Bull
