Parenting with DBT Course
We understand that many times parents need guidance when working with adolescents. We all could use skills training and it can be especially needed if we have any family members who struggle with very intense emotions. Parenting with DBT is a 16-week course that familiarizes parents with DBT skills and how they can be used for themselves.
Course work emphasizes:
- Increasing our ability to pay attention
- Reducing our amounts of hurt and suffering
- Being more in tuned with the emotional needs of ourselves and others
- Reducing our impulsive behaviors
- Tolerating stress during a crises
- Increasing our self-respect
- Increasing the quality of our relationships
- Being able to obtain things or emotional needs effectively
- Separating fact from assumptions
- Knowing how to act when we feel emotionally confused
- Solving problems through conflict resolution
All parents who have adolescents in the program are required to attend.
