DBT Summer Workshop Series
An 8-Session Intro to DBT Skills
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapeutic modality that has been proven effective in managing intense emotions, reducing self-harming behaviors, and improving communication and relationships. This group will focus on building the skills in each of the four modules of DBT: core mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance.

Does your daughter:
- struggle with managing intense emotions like anger, sadness, or anxiety?
- judge herself or others critically?
- engage in self-harm or self-destructive behaviors?
- have a difficult time seeing the positives?
- struggle with making friends or having healthy relationships?
- make impulsive decisions that are not in her best interest?
If so, DBT skills training can help. DBT is an evidence-based program that teaches teens the skills they need to cope effectively, manage impulses, improve relationships, and improve self-judgment.

- Give your daughter actionable steps and skills to practice during the week and over the course of the summer
mindfulness exercises to help decrease impulsivity and urges
