Groups
DBT Skills Training
DBT Skills Training is a 2 ½ hour weekly group (with a break) designed to enhance the capacity of the individual in the areas of Core Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance. There is a classroom atmosphere with skills being taught, practiced, and practice assigned outside of group. The first half of the class is spent reviewing your practice over the last week, while the second is learning a new skill. Going through all the modules takes about 24 weeks. Research supports two times through the group, or one year of treatment, for best skills acquisition and retention.
