Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a powerful, evidence-based treatment that allows clinicians to provide positive outcomes for clients of all ages struggling with stress, depression, trauma, suicidal and self-destructive behaviors, and a variety of other clinical presentations.

This three-day, in-person certification training will build the core competencies you need to bring into your clinical practice and effectively use it with a wide range of client types. In just three days, you’ll be given a roadmap to treat individuals using the skills and techniques from DBT so you can help your most challenging clients reach new levels of healing.

Even if you’ve attended other DBT trainings, this program will increase your competency and clinical sophistication with DBT when working with adults, youth, substance users, and trauma survivors in a variety of settings.

1. Describe the foundations of DBT and explain how it is used in a clinical setting.
