DBT Skills Training Group
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches evidence-based techniques to improve emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness.
About
In a supportive and structured environment, participants will learn practical strategies to manage overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, communicate better, and make thoughtful choices instead of reacting impulsively. The group will provide a safe space to practice these skills and connect with others facing similar challenges.
