Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Foundational Training™

About the Course

This comprehensive five-day training is designed specifically for individual therapists or skills trainers who are members of an intensively trained team, but have not completed intensive training themselves. It is meant to assist teams that have hired new staff or experienced turnover by allowing newer team members to get trained in the standard content of DBT. It includes 4 hours of content specific to risk assessment, management, and treatment of suicidal behaviours. Lecture, video, demonstration and practice will be used to teach DBT theory and strategies in depth.

The training requires that participants work in an active DBT program, participate in a consultation team, and will continue learning DBT with a mentor. Only people who have attended the full ten days of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Intensive Training™ are able to serve as mentors for team members attending Foundational Training.
