DBT IV Skills Class and Programmatic Logistics

10.18.2018

In this training you can learn to create and run a successful DBT® team. Having a team is an essential component of DBT® practice and is necessary for an adherent program. Also learn and discuss common programmatic concerns and how-to problem solve them. Attendees will be able to present team dilemmas and learn strategies for finding a dialectical synthesis. Methods and strategies to run a successful skills class will also be taught, with time laid aside to answer attendees specific questions and problem solve specific issues with teaching the skill.

DBT V (half day) Suicide Risk Assessment

5.11.2018 or 10.19.2018

There is a high probability that any clinician will encounter a self-harming or suicidal client over their professional career; the likelihood of a DBT® therapist treating a high acuity client is dramatically higher than their peers. It is crucial that DBT® therapists have an understanding of suicidal risk factors as well as a plan for assessing and treating.

DBT VI (half day) Mindfulness

5.11.2018 or 10.19.2018

The purpose of this training is to help clinicians understand the relevance of mindfulness as both a tool for their clients as well as a tool for themselves. Mindfulness is a centuries old, holistic treatment option that yields consistently research-validate benefits for all mental health complaints. This training will help attendees learn methods to teach mindfulness as well as learn to employ it as a strategy for their own stressors. We will also look at mindfulness as it can be used with children and adolescents!

Advanced DBT for Stage Two: Prolonged Exposure and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy

6.15.2018

The purpose of this training is to teach clinicians what to do once their clients have achieved behavioral control and are no longer actively trying to harm or kill themselves; yet still need to work on their trauma history or non-life threatening mental health conditions. Stage two DBT® treatment uses rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) and Prolonged exposure to target any unresolved thinking patterns or anxieties. This is an advanced training geared at clinicians who already understand and practice DBT as a treatment modality.

Non “DBT” therapists are welcome to attend as well and will be well served as this training provides relevant information to any clinician working with clients that have survived trauma and/or have persistent thinking errors

Advanced DBT for The Dialectical Supervisor

6.15.2018

This training is aimed at DBT® supervisors (non-DBT® supervisors welcome too!) as assists the supervisors in learning how to apply the treatment principals with their supervisee. We believe that modeling the treatment as a whole in all contexts (supervision, consultation team and with clients in skills class and their individual sessions) is what makes this treatment modality so impactful. This is an advanced training geared at clinicians who already understand and practice DBT as a treatment modality.

Advanced DBT for Diagnoses of Undercontrol (Substance abuse, Binge Eating and Bulimia)

7.13.2018

DBT® is generally known for use on clients with poor behavioral control and in this training, we will delve deeper into the specific (and new!) skills to target addictions, binge eating and bulimia. We will review and utilize chain analyses for the client who has difficulty with controlling their actions and how DBT® will differ for these clients.

Non-DBT® therapists would also benefit from attending and learning new ways to tackle this population!

Advanced DBT using Radically Open DBT for Overcontrol (Anorexia and OCD)

7.13.2018

DBT® is generally known for use on clients with poor behavioral control; however, this training targets the strategies for clients in the unique situation of having too much control over their emotions, behaviors and thoughts. We will teach new skills and format the training to especially answer your questions related to anorexia, chronic depression and OCD type behaviors. This is an advanced training geared at clinicians who already understand and practice DBT as a treatment modality.

Reactive Attachment Disorder

09.14.2018

The purpose of this training is to educate clinicians on how to diagnose and treat children with reactive attachment disorder. There is a secondary goal of providing parent and school coaching strategies as these members of the child’s life often feel “at a loss”. Clinicians should expect to walk away with a newfound understanding and sense of hope for this diagnosis.

During this training, we seek to teach the basic strategies used during individual therapy within the framework of the DBT® treatment modality.

Furthermore the attendee will learn specific DBT treatment strategies to work toward acceptance, change, and helping the client find the middle path dialectically.
