Foundation skills in dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)
Through a combination of teaching, role play demonstrations, exercises and group discussion attendees will have the opportunity to practice using these skills experientially with case material in an active learning environment. We will also spend time exploring the challenges, obstacles and pitfalls of this work for clinicians and teams, and some effective ways to manage these.
