12-WEEK DBT BASED SKILLS PROGRAMME FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEENS AND ADOLESCENTS 

In this group, adolescents learn and practise skills they can use to:

• Deal with Teenage & Family Challenges
• Regulate emotions and behaviour
• Enhance mood – deal with emotional dysregulation and impulsivity
• Improve relationships and engage in effective problem solving and communication
• Address confusion about self

While our minds can sometimes sabotage us, our neuroplasticity allows for more introspection, flexibility, and mindfulness. It’s helpful to know what steps to take when those disruptive thoughts arise: We feel anxious, flooded, overwhelmed, and exasperated.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills training for understanding and addressing difficulties associated with mood swings, impulsive behaviour (including self-harm), interpersonal difficulties and chronic low self-esteem.

DBT focuses on emotional regulation, mindfulness, and acceptance. The end goal of this skills training workshops is to combat self-harming behaviours and learn emotional regulation.
