Web Series 1: DBT with Adolescents and Families - Orientation & Commitment - August 2020

A 2 hour web-based training

This session will focus on how to get families/whanau engaged and committed to DBT both during the commitment phase and throughout treatment. Formulating family/whanau goals in line with the adolescent’s goals and treatment targets; identifying and working with therapy interfering behaviours and navigating group challenges that arise will be discussed. The session will involve a balance of teaching, case examples and time for specific consultation questions that either you or your consultation team have.

About our Web Series events:

This two-hour online Zoom group seminar is part of an online series designed to support practitioners in their DBT practice and professional development. A single DBT trainer will present an area of DBT study and progress its application to your context. Events may involve activities, discussion and Q+A for participants. There will be a maximum of 20 participants for each event. You will need a suitable device with a webcam and a reliable internet connection capable of streaming 'youtube' style video. When registered, we will send more information about the process of joining and particpating in the Zoom meeting.

Note: if this training is sold out then you will be able to join a waitlist. If we repeat this training then those on the waiting list will be the first to be offered a place for the new training.
