Description

Take the next steps on your DBT journey. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines the best of scientific psychology in the West with the beauty and wisdom of the East. Research has shown DBT to be effective in reducing suicidal behavior, non-suicidal self-injury, psychiatric hospitalization, treatment dropout, substance use, anger, and depression. Parenting a child (of any age) with big emotions and disruptive behavior can be overwhelming. In this course we will teach parents how to use the DBT skills of mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to create better interactions with their loved ones, led by Sarah Zimmer LMSW. THE LISTED PRICE OF $400 INCLUDES REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT FOR ALL EIGHT WEEKS PLUS A TRAINING MANUAL. This training is for parents with children of any age from all walks of life (professional or non-professional) who want to learn and benefit from DBT Skills. This event will be conducted in-person.
