Group Treatments

DBT skills training can be an effective treatment for some individuals. Our intensive skills-only program is ideal for those who want to learn how to better regulate their emotions, have healthier relationships, and who do not need more clinical support. Please note that those with current suicidal and self-injurious behaviours, and those with more complex clinical presentations respond better to the comprehensive model.

Program: DBT Skills-Only Groups

When: Offered at various times each week

Length: 90 minutes/week

Commitment: 6 months weekly treatment

Additional Information: 

• Must have a willingness to stay alive

CPT has been shown to be effective when conducted in a group format.  While the content of group versus individual CPT treatment is nearly identical, a pre-treatment orientation session will be conducted to answer questions clients might have about suitability for the group setting.
