This group is a dropin style group (come as you like) for clients who have challenges regulating emotions, have BPD or other mental health issues where emotional intensity and dysregulation is central and who have completed a DBT Program within the last 2 years at a recognized DBT organization and are familiar with the skills.
If you are a family member of a loved one who has challenges regulation emotions (BPD or other) we have a family group for please visit your group here.
Coping with life’s changes can be very difficult for those with challenges regulating emotions. Emotions may be intense and seem insurmountable. As you know if you have taken DBT before DBT offers a whole tool set to face these challenges. This group is for those who already know some DBT to refresh, keep skills fresh and get help from others on how they are currently using skills and what obstacles they may be facing. The expectation is that you have done at least a 12 week DBT group in the past 2 years at a professional DBT clinic. For those who have not done DBT in 2 years or more or feel they do not remember the skills well enough we have a refresher that you can take to help you remember and recall the skills. Click here for our DBT Foundations Surf and Refresh Course; an online do at your own pace course. It is important that the population in the group know the core DBT skills in all 4 quadrants so as to keep the group focused on practical use and not as much on teaching.
This group is 1 hour in length and is run by social workers/counsellors donating their time. This group is for those who are 16 years of age and older and is NOT considered a psycho-ed skills learning group. If you want to take a DBT psycho-ed group live online click here for more information and to sign up.
These groups are live online and are drop in style. You can come to as many or as few as you like. We use zoom telehealth and you will be sent a link each week prior to group start to access group online.
We are excited to use our contributing skill toward helping our current and previous clients and new clients who have taken some DBT come together in unity and share their strategies, hope, courage and time.
