DBT Skills Group for Adolescents
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a treatment approach that focuses on teaching teens skills that lead to a more meaningful life. Recent research has shown DBT to be helpful to adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal behavior, drug use and problematic life choices. Group sessions focus on the following: regulating emotions and behaviors, reducing problematic behaviors, experiencing a range of emotions without acting on them all, and improving relationships with family members, school, and peers.
