Multi-family Skills Training Groups
Decrease dangerous & high risk teen behaviors; develop clear strategies that support effective parenting when managing family crises; decrease therapy-interfering behaviors; foster adaptive coping skills for managing stressful family demands, difficult relationships, academic pressures and other stressful life events; create positive peer relationships and a more cohesive sense-of-self, as well as positive dynamics within family systems. Each teen must have at least one parent (caregiver) who participates weekly. Whenever possible we encourage both parents to participate. Teens in our DBT Multi-Family Skills Course are required to be in individual and/or family therapy while in skills group.
