Groups
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy- Adults
The DBT Group is intended to help adults (ages 18 yrs or older) practice mindfulness, increase assertive communication skills, strengthen emotion regulation, and learn new distress tolerance skills to help manage emotions more effectively. Working on these skills in a co-ed group setting gives adults the opportunity to practice hands-on DBT skills with their own personal life experiences, while doing so in a safe and therapeutic setting. Currently 4 co-ed DBT groups running at BAMHA on different days and times.
