Family sessions in DBT: Where to start?

A 90-minute web-based training

For people engaged in DBT, often relationships with loved ones are fraught and painful.  At the same time, part of what makes them so painful is that those relationships are so important to the person seeking help.  The current web-training offers an overview of the research on engaging families as allies in DBT, broad principles to consider when deciding when and how to include family members in treatment, and resources and strategies that can inform your work with your DBT client and their loved ones, particularly in our Aotearoa context.

About our Webinars:

Our online Zoom trainings are designed to support practitioners in their DBT-related 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 30 participants for this 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 participating 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.
