Description

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidenced-based treatment that prioritizes and targets self-harm and suicidality. It has successfully been adapted for other behavioral issues that impact the lives of adolescents and their families, including:

  • Self-harming behaviors
  • Anxiety-driven behaviors
  • Disordered eating
  • Substance abuse behaviors
  • Disruptive behaviors

Through the use of vignettes, case examples and clinical anecdotes, Pat Harvey and Britt Rathbone will teach you how to use DBT protocols, analysis and skills training to work with at-risk adolescents. Attend this seminar and become orientated to DBT philosophy and concepts. Develop the skills needed to structure and develop individual treatment sessions, DBT skills training and parent interventions. Learn how to prioritize treatment targets, use behavior analysis and daily logs to focus on how to use skills training as an essential part of treatment. Teach parents the tools and skills needed to maintain treatment at home.

  • Treatment strategies for individual therapy, skills training and parenting interventions
  • Create a treatment experience that helps adolescents and parents learn to regulate emotions and manage behaviors safely and skillfully
  • Teach parents 3 proven skill sets to dramatically improve parent effectiveness
  • Gain a toolbox of skills to guide your work with the most challenging adolescents and their parents

This seminar will fill the void by presenting specific proven techniques for working with adolescents who are most at-risk because of their emotion dysregulation. Leave with skills and knowledge that can enhance, and increase the effectiveness of your treatment of your most challenging adolescents and their parents.
