Adolescent DBT Skills Training Groups are for teens between the ages of 13-15 or 15-19 who experience chronic emotional difficulties and/or have difficulty regulating their emotions. Primary goals of the group are to decrease self-

destructive behaviors, increase effective coping skills, and create a sense of

behavioral and emotional stability for the adolescent and his/her family.

 

Core topics include emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress

tolerance, mindfulness and walking the middle path.

 

A parent/guardian is required to attend the weekly Thursday night group.
