DBT Skills Group

Learn life skills in a group setting.

A DBT skills group is a weekly class to learn life skills and level up your mental health game.

Unlike a traditional group therapy setting, a DBT skills group focuses not on talking about your emotions and experiences but on learning and practicing essential skills such as mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation.

In a DBT skills group, you will receive skills training from a qualified therapist/coach to provide guidance and support as you learn and practice the skills.

Groups are interactive and practical.

The agenda of a typical skills group session may include a mindfulness practice to begin the session, a review of skills from previous sessions, interactive skill demonstrations and activities, and a discussion of how to use the skills.

Group members can also practice using the skills with each other, a process under the supervision of the therapist/coach.

For individuals seeking support in managing their emotions effectively, a DBT skills group is a great way to learn effective tools that help increase their emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

After completing a series of skills classes, a person can expect to improve their ability to manage their emotional states, handle stressful situations with greater poise and resilience, and form healthier relationships with others.

The goal is to provide support in a group setting.

A DBT skills group offers those needing mental health support a chance to learn new skills in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

The sessions provide accountability and structure, allowing the group to discuss their experiences and offer peer support.

With the guidance of a qualified therapist and the support of their peers, members of a DBT skills group can grow in their knowledge and application of DBT skills.
