Program Details:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies arose from a recognition that typical skills-focused programs concentrate on change to the exclusion of validation or acceptance, with the result that clients experience invalidation around their suffering as well as the difficulty or lack of readiness to make changes.  The particular value of DBT stems from it combining acceptance and change strategies together. 

When clients experience validation, they are more likely to consider and take up strategies and skills that promote change.  Participants can expect to take away:
 
- An understanding of client populations that would benefit from DBT strategies
- An understanding of validation strategies to aid clients in moving toward change
- How DBT strategies integrate with MI
- An understanding of the fundamentals of the four skills domains taught in DBT
