DBT skills training

DBT was developed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder and has since been found helpful for a variety of mental health concerns. Dialectical stands for ‘working with opposites’ and DBT is designed to help people change unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving while also accepting them. The DBT skills group we offer at Nurturing Minds occur in a safe and supportive group setting. The four main components of the skills group include Mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills. The skills training is divided into two modules, each of 5 weeks duration for 1.5 hours per week.
